Chitosan, Weight Loss & Vitamin C
Studies show that ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps activate chitosan in the stomach and intestine into a fat-absorbing gel.
Chitosan or D-Glucosamine is a compound derived from the skeletons of shrimp, crabs and lobster. It has been promoted for weight loss because it can bind fatty acids.
Chitosan doses and the studies' design, size, length, and quality varied. Some studies didn't report the chitosan dose used.

Chitosan (KITE-o-san): A dietary supplement made from chitin, a starch found in the skeleton of shrimp, crab and other shellfish. It has not been shown to contribute to permanent weight loss.
Chitosan is a dietary fiber-like substance made from chitin, which forms the hard shells of lobsters, crabs, and other shellfish. Proponents of chitosan say that it binds to fat and substances that are soluble in fat.

General
Although Xenical is prescription-only, while Chitosan is available over the counter, both work in a similar way.
Chitin and Chitosan. Chitin is an amino-polysaccharide containing β-(1,4) linkages as is present in cellulose. Chitosan is the deacetylated product of chitin. Both chitin and chitosan are found in the exoskeletons of arthropods (e.g.
Chitosan: This comes from the shells of crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps. It is claimed that it attracts and absorbs fat, but again, there is no evidence that it will help you lose weight.
One typical example is chitosan a fiberous material made of shellfish shells. This material may adsorb fats, preventing their digestion, and thereby reducing caloric intake.
Chitin, or chitosan (advertised as a "fat trapper" or "fat blocker"), is made from the shells of insects and shellfish and may lower cholesterol, but it also does not lower body fat levels.
