- Product Highlights
- Derived through hot water extraction of the mushroom, followed by alkali treatment of the extracted liquid. The resulting extract is a unique blend of chitosan, beta-glucans, fatty acids, fiber, and glycoconjugates.
- The fatty acids and beta-glucans help prevent the absorption of fat and regulate glucose metabolism to healthy levels
- Vegan based mushroom-derived chitosan (as opposed to crustacean chitosan) and is effective at a dosage 10x lower than crustacean chitosan

Technical Details & Test Data
- Clinical Study of Chitoglucan®
Change of Body Weight
Change of BMI
- Mechanism of Action
Chitoglucan works in two different ways to aid weight reduction:
- The beta glucans prevent the absorption of fat by trapping and repelling fat from the mucosa through coating the gastrointestinal walls
- The fatty acids have a beneficial effect on lipid and glucose metabolism
Safety & Health
- Safety
Numerous studies, including two specifically designed to test safety, have found no adverse effects in subjects using chitoglucan. Unlike some weight loss products, chitoglucan does not interfere with the absorption of minerals in food consumed. Chitosan also offers an alternative to crustacean-derived chitosan, for vegetarians and those who do not consume shellfish for safety or religious reasons.
