Chitosan is hailed as a "fat magnet", which interferes the fat metabolism with the following mechanisms:
- Fat binding: Chitosan binds to dietary fats in the digestive tract, preventing their absorption and
reducing the total caloric intake from fat.
- Improves lipid profiles: It may lower blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides,
contributing to healthier fat metabolism.
- Reduces fat storage: By decreasing fat absorption, chitosan may reduce fat storage in the body.
- Promotes satiety: Chitosan can help slow digestion, reduce hunger, and increase feelings of
fullness, which may lead to lower calorie intake.
- Potential impact on fat synthesis: There is some evidence that chitosan may reduce fatty acid
synthesis in the liver, though more research is needed.
