What is Chitosan and How Do We Use it?

Polysaccharide Product

It turns out that shellfish are much more than delicious appetizers or entrees at our seafood restaurant. Scientists can take sugar from the hard outer skeleton of shellfish, including crab, lobster, and shrimp and use it in medicine! This sugar is called chitosan, and it has a variety of great uses. It can be used to treat obesity, high cholesterol, and Crohn’s disease. Plus, it can treat complications faced by kidney failure patients on dialysis such as anemia, loss of strength/appetite, and trouble sleeping.
