Useful for weight loss and cholesterol control
Useful for weight loss and cholesterol control.It binds to fat molecules, preventing their metabolisation and absorption. It accelerates healing and can improve the efficiency of medicines by delivering them properly, thereby allowing dosage to be reduced. It is also used in cosmetics as a moisturiser.
Derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in crustaceans. It is not recommended for those who are allergic to shellfish, because it is extracted by grinding and pulverising the shells of lobsters, shrimps, crabs and molluscs. Used since ancient times in Asian countries to heal wounds and burns.
