In 1823, scientists extracted Chitosan for the first time from the outer shells of Crustaceans. It is found in the shells of crabs, shrimps and snails, in certain kinds of cheese, yeast and also exists in small amounts in some varieties of mushroom. Chitosan is a dietary fibre and plays a major role in digestion, as well as moderating the passage of the stomach contents into the intestine, it helps strengthen the intestinal wall and accelerate the passage of food through the bowels. Commonly found in the shell of marine lives, Chitosan is crowned by nutritionists as the sixth essential element for life after protein, fat, sugar, minerals and vitamins. It is a rare natural edible animal fiber. Chitosan is able to absorb the toxins with negative charge inside the body, like heavy metal, lead and mercury, and it can make the immune cells become active so as to improve the immunity system.
