KiOslim

KiOslim is a consumer health ingredient and dietary supplement developed by Kitozyme, a Belgian biotechnology company. It is a proprietary blend of natural, non-GMO, non-animal fibers derived from fungal chitosan, specifically sourced from *Aspergillus niger*. Marketed as a natural fat binder for weight management, KiOslim works through a physical mechanism in the digestive tract, where it can bind up to 42% of dietary fats and reduce sugar absorption by approximately 46%. By decreasing the absorption of these macronutrients, it helps to reduce overall calorie intake and manage body weight. Additionally, KiOslim supports the regulation of blood sugar and cholesterol levels. It is a vegan, non-allergenic specialty chemical ingredient used in various consumer health formulations rather than a pharmaceutical drug with a specific molecular target.
