Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from the exoskeletons of crustaceans, such as crabs and shrimp.
Chitosan has been shown to inhibit the growth of various types of cancer cells, including breast, lung, and colon cancer cells.
Chitosan has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis, stimulate the immune system, and anti-inflammatory.
Chitosan is only soluble in acidic settings, hence limiting its use in neutral or alkaline pH circumstances
