 High Blood Pressure

Researchers have been studying chitosan as a binding agent for table salt for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension).

In two trials of 81 patients with prehypertension or moderate hypertension, taking a specific product (Symbiosal) with 3% chitosan in table salt for 8 weeks decreased systolic blood pressure, compared with table salt alone

Weight Loss

Chitosan forms connective films, attaching to bile and fatty acids in the gut. The films then pass through your digestive system, potentially increasing the amount of fat removed in the stool 

In one clinical study, chitosan supplements reduced participants’ weight by up to ~7 lbs over three months. But the placebo alone helped people lose up to 4 lbs. In turn, chitosan’s realistic contribution was only about 3 lbs (1.36 kg), on average 

A Cochrane database review included 15 clinical trials of 1,219 total participants. Chitosan supplementation slightly improved weight loss (-1.7 kg on average). However, this review failed to confirm increased fat excretion. The authors concluded that “the effect of chitosan on body weight is minimal and unlikely to be of clinical significance” 

Even if chitosan did bind and remove dietary fats, there’s a potential downside to this effect. By attaching to and enhancing the removal of excess fats, it may also increase the elimination of important minerals such as calcium and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D and vitamin A 

Further clinical trials should investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of chitosan supplements for weight loss.

 High Cholesterol

According to a review of human studies, adding chitosan to a regular diet can lower total blood cholesterol levels by ~6-40% and LDL cholesterol levels by 15 – 35%.

In one trial of 84 women, chitosan worked to lower total cholesterol levels better than the placebo. In a subgroup of women over 60 years of age, it also reduced LDL and total cholesterol [

On the other hand, chitosan failed to improve cholesterol levels in three studies of 247 participants in the absence of dietary changes
