Chitosan
Chitosan is a natural fibre derived from chitin, found in the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp and crab. Available in capsule and powder form, chitosan supplements are popular among adults looking to complement a balanced diet and active lifestyle as part of their everyday wellness routine.
When choosing a chitosan supplement, look for products that clearly state their source, purity, and recommended daily intake. As chitosan is derived from shellfish, it is not suitable for individuals with shellfish allergies — always read the label carefully before use. EU-authorised health claims recognise that chitosan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, when consumed at 3 g per day. Any product making this claim must meet the conditions of use established under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
