Although there is oil in the body, it can absorb oily substances.

Chitin can reduce cholesterol, and its mechanism is as follows:

1. Obstructs the absorption of cholesterol in the body.

After cholesterol in food enters the body, it needs to be converted into cholesterol ester under the action of enzymes before it can be absorbed by the intestine. This process requires the participation of bile acids. Bile acid is a surface active substance, which can emulsify lipids. Chitosan can easily combine with bile acids and expel them all. Because the bile acids around cholesterol disappear, this enzyme can't convert cholesterol into cholesterol esters that are easily absorbed by the intestine.

2. Hinder the absorption of fat

Because chitosan is a cationic compound with positive charge, it gathers around negatively charged lipid droplets in the body to form a barrier and hinder absorption. At the same time, it can also combine with bile acids, affect lipid emulsification and reduce its absorption.

3. Promote cholesterol conversion

Cholesterol is converted into bile acids in the liver. Bile acid is an important component in digestive juice and has a certain reserve in gallbladder. Bile acid is usually reabsorbed from the small intestine to the liver after fat digestion and absorption, which is the "intestinal-liver circulation" of bile acid. Because chitosan is easy to combine with bile acid and is completely excreted. Then, in order to maintain the normal content of bile acids, cholesterol must be converted into bile acids in the liver, so that the cholesterol content in the blood will inevitably decrease.

(III) Hypotensive effect

The treatment principle of essential hypertension is to limit salt intake, and about 60% patients can lower their blood pressure. Recent experiments have proved that the increase of blood pressure is only related to chloride ion in salt, but not to sodium ion. Chloride ions in salt can activate angiotensin converting enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I (decapeptide) into angiotensin II (octapeptide). Angiotensin Ⅱ promotes aldosterone secretion, keeps sodium and water in the body, increases blood volume and raises blood pressure. Chitosan is positively charged, attracted by chloride ions, but excreted in feces, so the body lacks chloride ions, invertase is inactivated, angiotensin II is reduced, and blood pressure is no longer increased.

Receive guidance:

Chitin should be taken about half an hour before meals, so that it can be distributed in the digestive tract and wait for the arrival of food. Drink plenty of water when taking it, otherwise it may cause intestinal obstruction and even defecation. When taking chitin, don't take fish oil at the same time, otherwise the effect of both will be affected. Those who take chitin continuously for three meals should not take it for more than two months, otherwise it will cause fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. If comprehensive vitamins can be supplemented in time, it can be improved.

I have eaten it myself ~ and the effect is good. I am not afraid to eat greasy food _
