Chitosan, a fiber derived from chitin in shellfish, is a nondigestible aminopolysaccharide. Chitosan is synthesized by removing acetyl groups from chitin through a process called deacetylation. This process enhances the activity of chitosan by improving its solubility in the acidic enviroment of the stomach. When taken in conjunction with the Maximum Metabolism Weight Loss Plan, body fat may be reduced.
