Medical Grade Pure Chitosan Powder for Drug Application / Pharma
Grade Chitosan
We Beyond Biopharma supplies Pharma grade Pure Chitosan Powder for
drug Application purposes. Our chitosan powder is extracted from
the shells of shrimp and crab. Chitosan has many functions in
various areas.
In the field of medicine and health care products, chitosan has the
functions of improving immunity, activating cells, preventing
cancer, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, anti-aging,
and regulating the body environment. The European and American
academic circles are known as human body except protein, fat,
sugar, vitamins, The sixth largest element of life outside
minerals. Can be used in medicine, health care, food.
In the field of medical functional materials, chitosan can be used
for membrane materials, carriers, adsorbents, fibers, medical
materials, and the like.
It is widely used in foods and can be used as additives,
preservatives, thickeners, stabilizers, gelling agents, binders,
clarifiers, adsorbents, etc.

The advantage of our Chitosan
1. Pure source of Material. Our chitosan is produced from the
shells of unpolluted deep-sea Alaska crab. The pure raw materials
make the quality of our chitosan superior.
2. GMP Production: Our Chitosan is produced in the GMP facility
with GMP quality management system.
3. Well established QC laboratory testing: Our chitosan is tested
in well-established laboratory before we release the material to
you.
General description of Chitosan
Chitosan is a liner polysaccharide produced by extraction from
shells of crab. It is off powder with a low bulk density. However,
in order to make chitosan better for application in food
supplements, we improve the bulk density to be around 0.6g/ml.
Chitosan is insoluble in water or alkali solution. But it is
soluble in inorganic acid like diluted hydrochloric acid, nitric
acid, and most organic acid.
The purity of chitosan is calculated on the deacetylation degree.
The deacetylation degree is from 70% to 95% depending on the
different application of chitosan.
Chitosan is widely used in many industries such as the Food, Food
supplements, Medicine, Cosmetic, Sewage treatment, textile, leather
and etc.
In this page, we mainly talk about the application of chitosan in
Food Supplements industry for weight loss purpose.
