A patented dietary fiber innovation for natural cardio care

Prebiotic support for GI tract and immune system

Made with KiOtransine® Chitin Glucan from Aspergillus niger

Formerly Artinia® N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine Chitin-Glucan

Upgrade your daily cardio-care regimen with the natural dietary fiber innovation of Swanson Ultra Artinisan KiOtransine® Chitin Glucan. An all-natural fiber supplement derived from the cell walls of the fungus Aspergillus niger, Artinisan KiOtransine has a unique structure that enables it to bond to free fatty acids in the digestive tract for safe elimination, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels that are already in the normal range to support clean, healthy arteries—but that’s not all. Artinisan KiOtransin also supports the body’s natural antioxidant systems to protect against harmful LDL oxidation by binding to free iron molecules that can trigger free-radical formation.

What sets Artinisan KiOtransin apart from other fiber supplements is its unusual structure, which not only allows it to bind to free fatty acids in the digestive tract, but also enables it to withstand stomach acids and pass though the upper gastrointestinal system largely intact. Artinisan KiOtransin is made up of two types of polysaccharide chains—chitin and beta-glucan—which are linked naturally during cell wall synthesis by a strong hydrogen bond. The beta-linked structure of these polymers produces a fiber that is highly water insoluble and resistant to acid digestion and is also is not digested by human enzymes to any significant extent. Thus, the fatty acids trapped by this fiber in the digestive tract are transported to the colon and excreted.

In addition to its lipid-binding capabilities, Artinisan KiOtransin also appears to support healthy blood vessels by protecting LDL in the bloodstream against oxidation. In much the same way that it binds to free fatty acids, Artinisan KiOtransin also binds to free iron molecules, which are major contributors to free-radical formation. By reducing the body’s iron-induced oxidative load, Artinisan KiOtransin can not only protect against LDL oxidation, but can also have a sparing effect on antioxidant liver enzymes like glutathione and superoxide dismutase, providing valuable support for liver function and the body’s entire antioxidant defense system.

Beyond the benefits discussed above, Artinisan KiOtransin is also an excellent fiber supplement for healthy colon care. As one might expect from an insoluble dietary fiber, KiOtransine helps promote regular bowel movements; but that’s only part of the story. While KiOtransine is not broken down by stomach acids or human digestive enzymes it can be broken down by probiotic bacteria in the lower intestine, making it a good source of prebiotic nutrition for gastrointestinal and immune system support.

With wide-ranging benefits for cardiovascular, liver, GI tract and immune system health, Artinsan KiOtransin is one fiber supplement that can enhance almost anyone’s daily nutritional regimen.
