Chitosan is found to be one of the few water-soluble dietary fibers. Like other fibers, Chitosan is not itself digested or absorbed by the body. Fibers are useful due to the function of keeping the gut environment healthy and literally help move things along the digestive system.
What makes Chitosan stand out compared to other fibers however, is its magnetic ability to absorb harmful and non-beneficial materials in the digestive tracts. This includes bile acids, fats, putrefactive materials and even heavy metals. They are then safely excreted outside of the body.
High-grade red crab shells are put into a two-stage purification process.
The first refinement sperates calcuym and protein, leaving the substance called Chitin.
Chitin is then refined a second time to finally yield Coscell's pure Chitosan
Crab shells in their raw form can't be processed by the human body.
By purifying the Chitosan inside it transforms into a water soluble dietary fiber with beneficial properties.
This allows the nutrient to be properly digested and absorbed.
