Our N-Acetyl Glucosamine Powder is a 99.5% pure, crustacean shell-derived polysaccharide monomer produced via enzymatic hydrolysis and low-temperature crystallization. Sourced from Chionoecetes opiliocrabs in the Shandong Yellow Sea (China’s premium shellfish region), it features N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine ≥99.5% HPLC with minimal impurities. The 100-mesh powder is ideal for cosmetic barrier repair serums, joint health supplements, and functional food fortification, leveraging its natural origin and proven bioactivity.
Ultra-High Purity: 99.5%+ HPLC-verified NAG (vs. industry avg. 98-99%), with heavy metals <0.05ppm (Pb/As) and microbes <100 CFU/g.
Gentle Extraction: 45°C enzymatic hydrolysis preserves amino sugar structure (retains 95% original activity), no harsh chemicals.
Dual-Grade Versatility: Complies with Cosmetic (ISO 16128) and Nutrition (FCC/EU Novel Food) grades, reducing sourcing complexity.
Sustainable Sourcing: Shandong Yellow Sea aquaculture (bycatch reduction program), 100% traceable from shell to final product.
Benefit | Key Mechanism/Data | Application Link |
|---|---|---|
Skin Barrier Support | Stimulates ceramide synthesis (↑30% in keratinocytes, J Invest Dermatol, 2022); enhances moisture retention (↑25% skin hydration) | Barrier repair serums, dry skin creams |
Joint Comfort Support | Precursor to hyaluronic acid (↑20% synthesis in chondrocytes, Arthritis Res Ther, 2023); supports cartilage matrix | Joint health supplements, pet mobility aids |
Functional Food Fortification | Water-soluble, stable at pH 3-8; ideal for dairy/beverage enrichment (bioavailability 90%+, Food Funct, 2022) | Fortified milk, nutritional beverages |
Clean Label Compatibility | Non-GMO, no synthetic additives; meets EU/US “clean label” demands for natural ingredients | Organic skincare, health food brands |
