Introduction

Our body’s cellular functions can deteriorate for various reasons?for example, due to stressful environments or to eating disorders. Our health is seriously compromised when this happens.
Chitin first developed on Earth over five billion years ago and, although it has played a vital role in human evolution and in supporting life on Earth, has hardly been used since its discovery in 1811. However, in 1982, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry started its “Unused Biological Resources Ten-Year Plan.” With the creation of this plan, research into Chitin (and Chitosan, its derivative) has advanced and its amazing physiological revitalization effects have been revealed one after another.

What is Chitosan?

Chitosan is derived from the shells of crabs and shrimp or the cell walls of mushrooms. It helps to both regain and strengthen the body’s natural ability to prevent or cure disease. However, in recent years, our bodies have become more inefficient at absorbing Chitosan due to the adverse effects of damage to our environment and agricultural chemicals. Because of this, Mindace Commerce Co., Ltd. did research into Chitosan and developed “Mindace,” water-soluble Chitosan products. Because water-soluble Chitosan is easily absorbed, it acts effectively in the body.

FAQ

Does Chitosan have any side effects?: No, it doesn’t. Water-soluble Chitosan is an extremely safe substance. There are rare reports of constipation, diarrhea, slight fever, tiredness, inflammation of the eye, eczema, red or itchy skin, etc., associated with taking Chitosan; however, these reactions are actually part of the process of cleansing the body and disappear in about one week.
How much water-soluble Chitosan should I take in a day?: Adults who want to maintain their health should take 0.5 to 1 gram a day, but those suffering from illness should take 4 grams a day.
So, the best Chitosan products should be low molecular water-soluble Chitosan, right?: That’s right. Chitosan polymers are disassembled into low molecular, water-soluble Chitosan, which raises the body’s absorption rate.
Is Chitosan easily absorbed into the body?: ?No, it isn’t. Normal Chitosan polymers aren’t easily absorbed into the digestive organs without processing. Therefore, even if we ingest Chitosan polymers, they don’t act effectively enough in the body.
Do all Chitosan products act similarly?: ?No, they don’t. Chitosan products differ according to the quality of the Chitosan within. Factors of note include the level of water-solubility, molecular weight, and rate of absorption inside the body.
Are Chitosan and Chitin the same thing?: No, they’re not. Chitin is an element in the composition of the shells of crabs and shrimp. It is an animal-derived dietary fiber polymer whose molecular weight exceeds one million and doesn’t melt in water or in acid. Chitosan is derived from Chitin by deacetylation. Chitosan also comprises polymers whose molecular weight is several hundred thousand. Chitosan does melt in weak acids but doesn’t melt in water.
