But is chitosan really safe? Yes!
According to research at the Albert Eistein Centre in Nottingham, United Kingdom, chitosan is as safe as any other high-fiber supplement- so safe, in fact, that it's used in water-purification systems and as a food preservative (thanks to its antimicrobial powers).But since chitosan powder is made from ground shells, people who are allergic to shellfish should not take the supplement. Pregnant women should also steer clear from chitosan cupplemets since chitosan may block absorption of the fat-soluble nutrients needed by growing babies.
