Chitosan by Nature's Science is a naturally occurring substance found in fungi, arthropods and marine invertebrates. There is evidence that Chitosan binds to fats in the intestine and blocks their absorption by the body.* These "bound" fats are then excreted from the body. Furthermore, some studies have shown that Chitosan can dramatically reduce Low Density Lipid (LDL) cholesterol while increasing High Density Lipid (HDL) cholesterol levels.* Chitosan's abilities to inhibit bad (LDL) cholesterol, promote good (HDL) cholesterol and "absorb" fats make Chitosan a powerful weightloss aid.
