In pharmaceutical manufacturing, chitosan is used as a filler in tablets; as a carrier in controlled-release drugs; to improve the way certain drugs dissolve, and to mask bitter tastes in solutions taken by mouth.

Acne: Due to Chitosan’s ability to inhibit certain bacteria which cause the inflammation associated with acne Chitosan has been used to effectively treat it.

Candida: Is a yeast that lives in the colon and it is normally harmless. However, it can overgrow and get out of control causing serious health problems. Candida overgrowth affects millions of people. A clinical test involving mice established that Chitosan exhibited the ability to kill candida.

Antacid: A patent has been issued to a Japanese company for using Chitosan as a safe and highly effective antacid.

Calcium: Calcium is important for the prevention of osteoporosis. Clinical tests show that Chitosan has been found to increase the bioavailability of calcium, which means that is more readily absorbed.

Anti-Plaque: Studies using Chitosan in chewing gum show that Chitosan raises the pH in the mouth and binds to the bacteria that cause plaque and tooth decay.

Anti-Tumour: Recent studies show that Chitosan has an immunopotentiating action. Mice that were given Chitosan showed a reduction in blood-born macrophages and tumor growth was impaired.

Chitosan is unquestionably a remarkable substance and medical studies for its potential health uses are ongoing.
