What is the use of Chitosan?

Chitosan is widely used as a supplement to treat a variety of ailments.

It has even proved helpful in treating loss of strength and appetite, and trouble sleeping (insomnia).

Chitosan is a type of fiber taken from the exoskeleton of insects and the shells of crustaceans, such as shrimp, lobster or even clams. It is made by treating the chitin shells of crustaceans with an alkaline substance, like sodium hydroxide.
