Product Introduction
Chitosan Oligosaccharide is a derivative of chitosan, a biopolymer obtained from chitin found in the shells of crustaceans. It consists of shorter chains of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine, making it more soluble and bioavailable than its parent compound. Chitosan Oligosaccharide is widely recognized for its various health benefits, including weight management, cholesterol reduction, and digestive health support.
