TIENS Chitosan is classified as a soluble dietary fiber, which, like all soluble natural dietary fibers, is important for the functioning of the digestive tract. Chitosan, along with cellulose, is the most abundant polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate) on earth. It is composed of chitin, which is found in the shells of insects and crustaceans, and in the cell walls of some types of fungi.<\/p>\n
This natural compound is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it completely safe for the environment. That is why it has been widely used not only in food supplements, but also in medicine, veterinary medicine, cosmetology and biotechnology in general. Nutritionists tend to call chitosan the sixth vital element - after proteins, fats, sugars, mineral compounds and vitamins.<\/p>\n
TIENS Chitosan is obtained from the shells of red crustaceans. It is characterized by a very high degree of deacetylation of chitin - 85 %. The higher the degree of deacetylation of this organic compound, the higher the biochemical activity of the resulting chitosan. Thus, the formula is extremely effective. According to publications, chitosan has a unique structure, as it contains positively charged amino groups with the same pH as the digestive tract. The amino groups bind to negatively charged molecules, such as lipids and bile, preventing them from being absorbed and remaining in the body.<\/p>\n
