Chitosan is a natural product derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in exoskeleton of shellfish, chemically similar to cellulose.
Unlike plant fiber, it significantly binds to fat, acting like a "fat sponge" in digestive tract.
Processing involves taking shells of shrimps or crabs, grinding them to fine powder and then deacetylating to remove chemical groups so that remaining compound is more active in its ability to soak up fats. Like some plant fiber, Chitosan is not digestible, therefore has no caloric value. This and the fat binding property are what make it attractive for weight control.
