Applications
1. Pharmaceuticals & Joint Health
  • Adjunct Therapy for Osteoarthritis:
    Acts as a precursor for cartilage matrix, promoting glycosaminoglycan synthesis. It helps repair damaged cartilage, reduce joint friction and pain, and alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Anti-inflammatory & Immunomodulation:
    Inhibits inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-α, regulates glycoprotein synthesis in immune cells, and enhances overall immunity.
2. Cosmetics & Oral Beauty
  • Moisturizing & Anti-aging:
    Stimulates the skin to synthesize hyaluronic acid, improves the water-retention capacity of the stratum corneum, reduces dry and fine lines, and enhances skin elasticity and fullness.
  • Barrier Repair:
    Maintains the integrity of the skin barrier, promotes the repair of damaged skin, and soothes sensitivity.
  • Whitening & Spot Reduction:
    Inhibits melanin production, improving dullness, acne marks, and pigmentation.
  • Applicable Forms:
    Serums, creams, face masks, and oral beauty drinks.
3. Food & Dietary Supplements
  • Regulatory Status:
    Approved as a New Food Raw Material by the National Health Commission of China in August 2024, with a daily consumption limit of ≤500mg.
  • Applications:
    Used in dairy products, beverages, jelly, candy, and pastries as a functional additive, stabilizer, or sweetener (suitable for diabetics).
  • Gut Health:
    Maintains the intestinal mucosal barrier, promotes intestinal repair, and regulates gut flora.
4. Industry & Fine Chemicals
  • Pharmaceutical Intermediates:
    Used in the synthesis of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and immunomodulators.
  • Biomaterials:
    Used for the preparation of chitosan, medical dressings, and tissue engineering scaffolds.
  • Others:
    Electroplating additives, textile auxiliaries, and feed additives.
