According to recent research, shells of crustaceans like crabs, shrimp and lobster have the ability to reduce cholesterol and help to lose weight for humans. The shell of the shrimp contains a natural fiber called chitin, inside is a chitosan molecule capable of improving high blood pressure.

Many people wonder how chitosan works, why are they so beneficial? The main reason is that chitosan restricts fat absorption. This absorption process prevents the fats from entering the bloodstream. The mixture made of fats and chitosan will be released from the digestive tract. This not only helps reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed in the blood, but also reduces the absorption of other fatty molecules such as triglycerides, fats that block arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. Not only that, chitosan can specifically reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels.

By inhibiting fat absorption, chitosan not only lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, it also helps prevent weight gain. In an animal study, scientists at medical schools in Japan have shown that chitosan reduces the amount of enzymes that digest fats in the gut. This means that undigested fat molecules pass through the intestines through excretion. On the other hand, American scientists also pointed out that chitosan helps create feelings of fullness when eating, thereby reducing your appetite.

Chitosan reduces blood fats and protects the liver from toxins. Normally your liver has to absorb and receive a large amount of fat from the human body, the long-term accumulation of fats will lead to the most damaging and dangerous liver cancer. A team of scientists from the Research Institute of Fisheries Technology in India, studies the protective benefits of chitosan on liver tissue after exposure to strong toxins. They concluded that the hepatoprotective hepatoprotective effect of chitosan is the result of reduced fat and antioxidants on the human body

Note: The best indication for use is to take two 500 mg chitosan capsules with 235 ml of filtered water before two meals a day. If taken along with the weight loss process, users should combine with diet and reasonable diet as directed by your doctor. Side effects of chitosan can cause abdominal pain, bloating and constipation. If you experience these symptoms, users should reduce the dose until the symptoms disappear.
