Chitosan does not interact with the body in a dangerous manner, and it does not add any calories or otherwise leave behind a mark. None of my patients have had any difficulty, large or small, with the substance. My findings are backed up by animal studies which have shown that “the toxicity of Chitosan is approximately equivalent to table sugar or salt.”11 In other words, you would have to ingest tremendous amounts of Chitosan before you had any difficulties.

caution: However, if you are allergic to shellfish, are pregnant or breast feeding, or are under the age of 14, it’s best to seek advice from your physician before
trying Chitosan. Also, discuss the use of Chitosan with your physician before using it if you are taking any medicines,
whether prescription or nonprescription, or have any diseases or ailments. As a general rule, it is best to consult your doctor before starting any diet program.

A Problem Solved some researcher have correctly pointed out that by pulling fatty acids from the body, Chitosan prevents us from using nutrients such as vitamins A, D, and E that are in those fats. Thus, it is theoretically possible for Chitosan to cause a nutrient deficiency.

I haven’t found this to be a problem for my patients. The average person gets 40 percent of his or her calories from fat. This is more than enough; the body only needs to absorb about 6 percent fat in order to take in all the essential fatty acids and nutrients it needs.

Still, my 8-Point Fat Blocker Program successfully deals with this potential problem by including generous amounts of these nutrients in supplement form in the daily regimen, scheduled so that they’re safely digested before Chitosan enters your stomach.
