Single-blind, placebo controlled randomised clinical study of chitosan for body weight reduction

'- by V. R. Trivedi et al. (2016)

Abstract

Chitosan is a dietary fiber that acts by reducing absorption and thus as a means for controlling weight. Weight loss clinical trial outcomes, however, have contradictory results regarding its efficacy. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chitosan from the fungal origin in the treatment of excess weight in the absence of dietary restrictions.
