trū Chitosan

Chitosan (KY-tuh-sin) is a biopolymer produced from the exoskeletons of shrimp and crustaceans, which would be otherwise discarded. A product of The trū Shrimp Companies, our chitosan is made from a controlled shrimp production process, enabled by our breakthrough Tidal Basin® indoor aquaculture technology.

It’s trū: We take pride in meeting Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)  requirements and conforming to standards set forth by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP).
