In the realm of advanced biochemical ingredients, Chitosan Oligosaccharide (COS) stands out as a remarkably versatile compound. Derived from the chitin found in crustacean shells, specifically noted in our high-quality product from snow crab shells (CAS 148411-57-8), COS offers a unique combination of properties that are highly sought after across multiple industries. As a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, we are proud to offer this premium ingredient to businesses looking for superior quality and performance in their products.

The appeal of Chitosan Oligosaccharide lies in its exceptional water solubility and its inherent biological activities. Unlike its higher molecular weight precursor, chitosan, COS readily dissolves in water, which significantly simplifies its incorporation into a wide array of formulations. This enhanced solubility is crucial for applications in health foods and pharmaceuticals, where bioavailability and ease of administration are paramount. We provide COS with an assay of ≥99.0%, meeting stringent international standards such as USP, BP, EP, and FCC, making it a trusted component for formulators.

For the health food sector, Chitosan Oligosaccharide is recognized for its potential benefits, including its role in supporting healthy blood fat and blood sugar levels, promoting a balanced gut microbiome by encouraging beneficial bacteria, and contributing to overall immune system support. Its low caloric value and lack of side effects further solidify its position as a valuable nutraceutical ingredient. Manufacturers looking to buy high-quality COS for their health food products can rely on our stable supply chain and competitive pricing.

In the cosmetics industry, the moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties of Chitosan Oligosaccharide are particularly advantageous. It acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, thereby improving hydration and skin texture. Its film-forming capabilities can also provide a protective barrier. This makes it an excellent addition to facial creams, lotions, and cleansing products, enhancing product efficacy and consumer appeal. Sourcing COS from a reputable supplier ensures the consistency and performance required for premium cosmetic formulations.

Furthermore, Chitosan Oligosaccharide finds applications in pharmaceuticals, where its biocompatibility and potential as a drug delivery agent are being explored. It can also serve as an effective excipient, contributing to the stability and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. For businesses seeking a reliable source for pharmaceutical-grade intermediates, our GMP SGS certified Chitosan Oligosaccharide is an excellent choice. We encourage prospective buyers to contact us for a quote and sample to experience the quality firsthand.
