Scientific Background
Polyglucosamine, also named chitosan, is a polyaminosaccharide derived from chitin, a component of the exoskeleton of crustaceans.
Due to the presence of multiple amino groups, polyglucosamine, when dissolved in aqueous acidic media, shows a high positive charge on its surface that allows it to adhere to or to aggregate with negatively charged molecules; this can be exploited in a variety of processes.
In the acidic environment of the stomach (pH ≈ 2) polyglucosamine swells and forms a positively charged gel. The gel attracts negatively charged molecules such as lipids, fatty acids and their oxidized forms. Once in the small intestine (pH ≈ 7-8) these complexes solidify and are subsequently excreted in the feces, as aggregates.
Clinical Studies
Thanks to its content in Vitamin C it has beneficial effects in protecting cells from oxidative stress and relieving symptoms characterized by oxidative stress-related aspects.

Chitosan Food
Chitosan, also named polyglucosamine, is a linear poly-aminosaccharide. It is obtained through chitin deacetylation, which is the structural element in the exoskeleton of crustaceans (such as crabs and shrimp) and cell walls of fungi.
In 2011 EFSA granted chitosan with the claim “Chitosan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels”, with the health relationship “maintenance of normal blood LDL-cholesterol concentrations”.
