| HEP-40 is not like other chitosans. | ||||
| HEP-40 is unique. It is a low molecular weight chitosan with a size of 40,000 Daltons. The starting material is food grade chitosan, which is then cut down to a precise and homogeneous molecular weight of 40 kDa using a patented enzymatic hydrolysis process. | ||||
| HEP-40 is produced by Diversified Natural Products (DNP). The Company’s extensive pre-clinical testing has shown that chitosan with a molecular weight of 40kDa is significantly more effective in providing cholesterol support than uncut chitosan. This has been confirmed in subsequent clinical studies.* | ||||
| Diversified Natural Products has the only commercial scale hydrolysis process in the world for producing short chain chitosans of a uniform size. This unique know-how, combined with DNP’s patents, offer distributors the assurance that HEP-40 will not be commoditized. | ||||
