CONTACT WE SUPPLY HYALURONIC ACID IN PHARMACEUTICAL, OCULAR, MEDICAL, NUTRITIONAL AND COSMETIC GRADES We are suppliers of Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate, offering the finest quality HA from Europe and China, with molecular weights to meet a wide range of manufacturing requirements. We supply Pharmaceutical Hyaluronic Acid, as well as Ocular, Medical, Nutritional and Cosmetic grades. PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE HYALURONIC ACID Pharmaceutical Grades of Hyaluronic Acid, or Sodium Hyaluronate, (in grades EP 1.8 and EP 3.0) are used in viscoelastic solutions and parenteral applications. These applications include: intra-articular injections for improved mobility, intra-dermal injections for aesthetic applications, and other intra-articular as well as intra-ocular uses such as in Opthalmic Viscosurgical Devices. These grades can be used as an API or excipient delivery system. These are high purity products from non-animal source bacterial fermentation, so there is no risk of transmitting animal disease. We also offer sterile and crosslinked sodium hyaluronate. Please contact us for details. For general usage information, see this Sodium Hyaluronate WebMD guide. MEDICAL GRADE APPLICATIONS Medical Grade Hyaluronic Acid can be used in oral and intra-articular applications which do not include intra-ocular products. Applications include wound and burn care, medical lubrication, contact lens solutions and eye drops. Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid | Sodium Hyaluronate for dermal filler, joint and other structure related applications is also available. COSMETIC GRADE HYALURONIC ACID | SODIUM HYALURONATE We supply Hyaluronic Acid Cosmetic Grade powder in a wide range of molecular weights. This is high purity material used in the manufacture of topical and dermal moisturizing products. Very low molecular weight HA can penetrate into the dermal layer to provide rejuvenation below the skin surface. Higher molecular weight is suitable for topical moisture retention. This material is also categorized as Sodium Hyaluronate. Our cosmetic grade HA has a very low protein level which makes it particularly suited for skin care concerns about hypersensitivity. The material is manufactured only from non-animal sources to eliminate risk of animal infection. ORAL INTAKE OF HYALURONIC ACID Oral intake of nutritional / cosmetic grade sodium hyaluronate has become popular in recent years having been recognized as effective in inhibiting wrinkles, and improving skin condition. A recent clinical study published by the US Library of Medicine concluded that hyaluronic acid taken orally demonstrated the ability to suppress wrinkles, and improved “the skin’s luster and suppleness.” For more information about this and other skin care and cosmetic products we supply, see our Skincare Ingredients page. Many of those products, such as tetrapeptides and collagen, work with, or are complimented by Hyaluronan. WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID | SODIUM HYALURONATE? Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body in skin, cartilage, nerves, bones, and eyes. It is also a key component of synovial fluid within the joints. Sodium Hyaluronate is a salt form of hyaluronic acid, processed to increase stability and minimize oxidation. As sodium hyaluronate, the material is purified and has a narrower molecular weight range. Hyaluronan is another name used for both variations. Although Hyaluronan was originally extracted from sources such as human umbilical cord and rooster comb, today it is most often produced by fermentation, using potatoes, yeast or glucose. Our Nutritional and Cosmetic Grades of Hyaluronic Acid powder are obtained from the fermentation of yeast and/or glucose. This product is classified as non-animal derived and non-GMO. This natural HA can be classified in the USA as "vegetarian" or "non-animal derived.” Hyaluronan is an amazing material which is able to absorb as much as 1,000 its weight in water. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, medical, ocular, cosmetic and nutritional manufacturing. DILUTION AND VISCOSITY OF HYALURONIC ACID A common question is: “How viscous, or thick can various dilutions of HA be?” For high molecular weight material, 1% HA, in solution, has a viscosity similar to room temperature liquid honey. 2% HA in solution is similar to refrigerated liquid honey. With low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate there is a wider viscosity range. Gel formation occurs at progressively increasing densities when applied in ranges between 0.1% and 10% of HA to liquid. As such, claims of 60% or 100% “pure” Hyaluronic Acid liquid in the marketplace should be questioned. Since Hyaluronan can absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in water it is important to note that as the concentration rises, it very quickly becomes thicker. TECHNICAL INFORMATION We are suppliers of the grades and types of hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate described above. While we have considerable product knowledge, we are not specifically in the biotech research and development field. However, we can answer many questions, as well as provide documentation of manufacturing processes and product details. It is recommended that buyers determine for themselves whether product characteristics and specifications are suitable for their own manufacturing and use applications. If you have any questions, please contact us.
