SUBSTANCE FOR REDUCTION OF CHOLESTEROL AS WELL AS LIPIDS CONTENT

摘要

The invention relates to a substance for reduction of cholesterol as well as lipids content based on the microcrystalline chitosan in a form of solid or gel-like dispersion. The microcrystalline chitosan in a form of powder and/o r gel-like dispersion contains a blend of two fractions having differing molecular weights, one reducing the cholesterol (LDL) content and the other reducing the lipids content. The microcrystalline chitosan is further combin ed with synergistic active substances such as organic acids like ascorbic acid and/or carbonates like sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate and/or magnesium carbonate to increase the cholesterol and lipids reduction.
