Pharmacy Chitosan is the natures own solution to medical problems.
Chitosan are used in vast array of medicinal and pharmaceutical products and applications due to its physical and chemical properties(bacteriostatic, immunologic, antitumoral, cicatrizant, hemostatic and anticoagulant). Because of its biocompatibility with human tissue, chitosan''s cicatrizant properties have proven its effectiveness as a component, notably, in all types of dressings (artificial skin, corneal dressings, etc.), surgical sutures, dental implants, and in rebuilding bones and gums.

There are many potential chitosan applications in the health field. Chitosan is known to be used in applications such as:
Glucosamine stimulates the production of water-binding glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, two essential building blocks of cartilage and also inhibits the production of chondrocytes, enzymes that break down cartilage. Glucosamine also appears to suppress the destructive enzymes collagenase and phospholipase. Glucosamine promote healthy cartilage in a natural way. Glucosamine helps to form tendons, ligaments, cartilage and nails. Glucosamine has few side effects primarily because it is already a natural component of the body.
