Disclosed are micronized hydrophilic systems of highly concentrated, cross-linked biopolymers. The system is created by combining a biopolymer with a cross-linking agent under mechanical kneading and allowing the biopolymer to undergo a cross-linking process followed by purification, drying and milling. The resulting micronized biopolymer system has an increased biopolymer concentration and increased longevity within the body.

The invention relates to compositions and formulations for managing weight in obese persons and individuals who wish to maintain their weight in a desired value regardless of their lifestyle habits or food preferences. The compositions comprise polymeric compounds that when administered as described herein form an intestinal overlay in situ which modulates the absorption of nutrients in the intestines for certain periods of time.
