Food grade chitosan oligosaccharide powder liver detox ingredient factory supply
Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) for Liver Protection | English Product Description
1. Physicochemical Properties
Alias: Chitosan Oligosaccharide, COS|CAS:148411-57-8
Source: Enzymatic hydrolysis of high-deacetylated crustacean chitin, zero strong acid degradation, food & supplement grade compliant with EFSA, FDA food additive specifications.
- Appearance: Off-white fine powder, almost odorless, slight natural seafood aroma, free of insoluble residue.
- Molecular index: Average molecular weight 300–1600 Da, DP 2–10; Deacetylation ≥92%, abundant free cationic amino groups as core active structure for liver-target binding and free radical scavenging.
- Solubility: Fully soluble in neutral aqueous solution (pH5.0–7.0); insoluble in ethanol and organic solvents, superior water solubility vs high-molecular chitosan.
- Quality specification: COS purity ≥90%(dry basis), moisture ≤9.0%, ash ≤1.0%; thermostable below 115℃, mildly hygroscopic, require sealed cool dry storage.
- Absorption feature: Small-molecule oligomer can be rapidly absorbed through intestinal epithelium into blood circulation to reach liver tissue and exert hepatoprotective effects.
2. Hepatoprotective Mechanism & Test Data(Antioxidation,Hepatic anti-inflammation,Anti-fatty liver,Anti-fibrosis)
2.1 Scavenge hepatic free radicals & relieve oxidative liver injury
COS neutralizes excess reactive oxygen species in hepatocytes via amino-group antioxidation pathway, reduces oxidative stress damage induced by alcohol, chemical toxins and high-fat diet.
Animal test data: After continuous oral administration for 28 days on alcohol-induced liver injury model, hepatic MDA level drops by 47%, liver SOD & GSH-Px antioxidant enzyme activity rises by 52% and 43% separately vs control group.
2.2 Reduce liver inflammation & lower ALT/AST liver enzymes
Inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway to suppress over-secretion of hepatic pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, relieve inflammatory infiltration of liver tissue and improve abnormal liver function indexes.
Test data: For chemical-induced acute liver damage subjects, continuous COS supplementation reduces serum ALT by 39% and AST by 35% after 14 days administration.
2.3 Improve non-alcoholic fatty liver & regulate hepatic lipid metabolism
Restrain excess lipid deposition inside hepatocytes, accelerate triglyceride metabolism in liver lobule, ameliorate hepatic steatosis caused by high-calorie diet and metabolic disorder.
High-fat feeding model data: Long-term COS intake reduces hepatic triglyceride accumulation by 41%, effectively alleviate mild to moderate fatty liver lesions.
2.4 Inhibit early hepatic fibrosis development
Suppress excessive proliferation of hepatic stellate cells, cut down collagen hyperplasia deposition in liver tissue to block early liver fibrosis progression.
In-vivo trial: Hepatic collagen content decreases by 32% after continuous 30-day COS intervention on fibrosis model mice.
2.5 Regulate gut-liver axis (Core synergy advantage of COS)
Optimize intestinal flora, raise bifidobacteria & lactobacillus abundance, reduce harmful bacteria-derived endotoxin translocation from gut into blood to avoid secondary toxic injury to liver, realize liver protection via gut-liver axis regulation.
Flora test: Daily COS intake improves intestinal beneficial bacteria quantity by over 1.6 log CFU/g, lowers blood endotoxin concentration by 50%+.
3. Product Summary
Our liver-care dedicated enzymolysis chitooligosaccharide features DP2–10 low molecular specification, full water solubility and high bioavailability, with abundant published preclinical data verifying four core liver benefits: anti-oxidative hepatic protection, lowering transaminase, improving fatty liver and blocking early hepatic fibrosis; meanwhile it improves gut-liver axis microecology as auxiliary liver protection advantage different from traditional single herbal liver ingredients.
