Our Products

Not just chitosan: true medical-grade chitosan.

Many suppliers offer “research only” or “medical-grade" chitosan, but there are actually no official quality standards for chitosan grades. There is, however, the United States Pharmacopeia – National Formulary monograph: the recognized standard for medical applications of the chitosan molecule. Not only does trū Chitosan meet all USP-NF monograph specifications, it also meets all requisite cGMP procedures with traceable, single-source raw material produced in an FDA-registered facility. We hold ourselves to the highest degree of quality standards to ensure consistent behavior, uncompromising safety and reliable peace of mind. When your painstakingly conducted research or meticulously crafted medical device requires a dependable chitosan product, why would you trust anything less than trū Chitosan?

Each product lot is tested by chitosan chemistry experts in a FDA-registered and ISO-accredited facility according to methods outlined by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) that are specific to chitosan. The facility and its processes are audited multiple times each year to ensure ongoing compliance.
Yes! Chitosan HCL was added as an excipient to the European Pharmacopoeia 6.0 in 2002, followed by the United States (USP-NF 34) in 2012. Learn more.
Yes! Chitosan is stable in a wide range of conditions and is commonly mixed with other polysaccharides—including hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), gelatin, collagen, peptides and hyaluronic acid. In general, chitosan will turn into a gel in both acids and solids when neutral or basic, but the molecule remains intact.
Yes. However, please note that trū Chitosan by itself is not a medical product and is not indicated by the FDA for any purpose other than as a raw material for use in medical products or as an excipient.
We are happy to work with you and create a wide range of form factors (gel, liquid, solid, powder, fiber, fleece, etc.). For more information, contact us
