Initial chitosan research done by manufacturers on animals showed some dietary fat-absorbing abilities. However, they did not study its effect on humans. Subsequent studies done by independent groups like HealthWatch, European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and American Obesity Association showed that it was ineffective. Even worse, it blocked out nutrients, vitamins and minerals because it causes malabsorption. It does have some benefits--i.e., it can lower cholesterol, but weight loss-wise, it doesn't work.
