What is chitosan powder used for?

Stopping Bleeding and Applying Wounds
Many hospital emergency rooms stock a "hemostatic powder" that forms a film in seconds when applied to wounds. This powder contains chitosan. Because it's positively charged, it instantly grabs negatively charged red blood cells, "sticking" to the blood. It also inhibits bacteria, preventing inflammation. Fishermen who cut their hands at sea can sprinkle a handful of chitosan powder, which is more effective than Yunnan Baiyao.

Lowering Fat and Lowering Blood Lipids
Chitosan powder, when exposed to stomach acid, turns into a positively charged colloid, attracting fat and bile acids like a magnet, carrying them out of the body. Japan has been producing chitosan capsules since the 1990s. Taking two capsules before meals is said to "eat oil without absorbing it." Many slimming teas and meal replacement powders in China also secretly incorporate chitosan, though the dosage varies.

Using it as an "invisible bandage" in cosmetics
Dissolve chitosan powder in lotion and apply it to the face, where it forms a very thin film that locks in moisture and acts as an antibacterial. Many medical beauty masks and post-operative repair creams rely on it to "seal" micro-wounds and reduce redness. For sensitive skin, any redness after using this product will fade significantly the next day.

Agriculture and Environmental Protection
Vegetable farmers in Shouguang, Shandong, spray tomatoes with chitosan powder mixed with water. This results in thicker leaves and fewer lesions, as chitosan stimulates the plant's immune system. Sewage treatment plants also use it to absorb heavy metals. Adding a few kilograms of chitosan powder to one ton of wastewater "grabs" copper and lead ions, which sink to the bottom of the mud.

Food Preservation
Chitosan powder can inhibit mold. Bread in southern China is prone to growing green mold during the rainy season. Spraying a layer of chitosan solution on the surface of the bread can extend its shelf life by two or three days at room temperature. Juice factories use it as a clarifier, eliminating the hazy cloudiness of apple juice.

Who should not take chitosan?

People who break out in rashes after eating shrimp and crabs
Chitosan powder is essentially shrimp and crab shells, so the likelihood of an allergy is about the same as eating seafood directly. Someone once bought chitosan capsules from a livestream and broke out in hives all over their body the same night after taking them. A test revealed a crustacean allergy.

Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers
No systematic trials have been conducted on pregnant women, so to be safe, these two groups should avoid using chitosan powder.

People taking warfarin or aspirin
Chitosan has some blood-clotting properties, which can interfere with anticoagulants, potentially reducing their effectiveness and even increasing the risk of bleeding.

People who have undergone gastrectomy or intestinal obstruction
Chitosan powder absorbs water and expands. For normal people, drinking plenty of water can eliminate it. However, for those with a partially removed stomach or intestinal obstruction, the powder will expand in the stomach like dough, potentially causing a blockage.

Children under three years old
Children have short stomachs and simpler microbiota, so chitosan powder can easily cause constipation. Furthermore, the fishy taste makes it difficult for children to swallow.
