Through a process called deacetylation, chitin is converted into chitosan creating a positively charged fiber like substance with the unique ability to bind to negatively charged dietary fats and bile acids in the digestive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Chitosan Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChitosan carries a positive charge due to its deacetylated structure. Dietary fats and bile acids carry negative charges. When chitosan encounters fats in the digestive system, the opposite charges attract, causing chitosan to bind to the fats before they can be fully absorbed. The chitosan-fat complex is too large to be absorbed through the intestinal wall and is eliminated from the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChitosan also binds bile acids in the intestine. Bile acids are produced by the liver from cholesterol and are normally reabsorbed and recycled. When bile acids are bound by chitosan and excreted, the liver uses more cholesterol from the bloodstream to produce new bile acids which is the basis for chitosan’s cholesterol support use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy 95% Deacetylation Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe degree of deacetylation determines how many positive charges the chitosan molecule carries and therefore how effectively it can bind to negatively charged fats and bile acids. Chitosan standardized to minimum 95% deacetylated chitin is considered high-quality and ensures consistent fat-binding capacity in every capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMedicinal Ingredient (per capsule)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChitosan (from shrimp shell chitin, North American source) 500mg\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 95% deacetylated.
