| Chitosan is a proven safe and effective way to control the intake of dietary fat and other high calorie substances. It also offers other health enhancing benefits that could help untold millions of people perhaps you are one of them. Chitosan fiber derived from crab shells has been studied for its effect on cholesterol and lipid metabolism. |

| Chitosan at Work: A Demonstrations of the Fat-Binding Process The remarkable capacity of Chitosan to bind with fat can be seen in a simple, but graphic simulation. Since in vivo studies (living subject studies) of chitosan have corroborated what occurs in vitro (in a jar or test tube), what you see here closely parallels the fat-binding function of chitosan in the body's digestive tract. (all ingredients used in this demonstration are perfectly harmless). |

| A simple jar of water is used to represent fluids of the digestive tract. | One dropper of oleic acid (a fat) is added on the water, simulating the body's gastric fluids. The oleic acid has been dyed with a fat-soluble coloring agent. This helps us see the oleic acid, a normally transparent fat, throughout the demonstration. |
A very small amount of lecithin (a fatty substance found in egg yolk) is added to the jar to act as an emulsifier. An emulsifier is an agent that disperse one substance evenly throughout another substance with which it normally would not mix, the classic example being oil and water. We're all familiar with the use of eggs in a salad dressing to keep the oil from separating. The eggs act as an emulsifier. | The jar - now containing (1) water, (2) oleic acid and (3) lecithin is shaken vigorously, producing the even emulsion. The jar looks cloudy because of the fat. Now we're ready to see what happens when Chitosan is added. |
A single capsule of Chitosan is added to the jar. This represents taking Chitosan as a dietary supplement at or before a meal to prevent the stomach and intestines from absorbing fat calories into the blood stream. |
Again, the jar is shaken vigorously, allowing Chitosan to bind with fat. | The result of the demonstration appears instantly: The Chitosan has acted like a magnet. The fat separates to the surface of the water, and the water is clear again. In the body, the indigestible globs of fat (seen here floating in water) would be eliminated with the fiber through the body instead of contributing their calories to the bloodstream. Had they not carried away, the body would eventually have deposited them in new, harmful forms such as adipose tissue (body fat) or lipoproteins (cholesterol). |
