Why trū Chitosan?
The trū difference starts with the chitin molecule extracted from a single species, single source shrimp exoskeleton tissue raw material produced in our own indoor captive, controlled production of shrimp.
Let's talk chitosan.
Our experienced chitosan pros are here to provide detailed information and help assess your unique needs.
Our captive shrimp production yields exoskeleton tissue free of toxic heavy metal pollution, disease, and antibiotics. The pristine Tidal Basin environment is extremely low in gram-negative bacteria, yielding extremely low or undetectable endotoxin content in the final chitosan.
Pristine material
A single species, single-source exoskeleton tissue raw material produces a chitosan with unimodal Mw distribution ensuring consistent and predictable behavior and performance in your pharmaceutical or medical device application.
Consistent, predictable behavior
Our primary focus is cGMP compliant chitosan produced in conformance with the USP-NF Monograph (Jan-2022) and segmented by the levels of inhalant, parenteral, oral, and cutaneous delivery as defined by USP 232 Elemental Impurities Limits for the Delivery of Drug Substances.
Medical application focus
Vertical integration yields not only a superior chitosan but enables an industry first complete chain-of-custody and an unprecedented Certificate of Origin with every lot.
Complete chain of custody
The trū Difference
When it comes to shrimp, water is everything. We're masters of water chemistry and shrimp husbandry with the singular goal of creating consistently perfect exoskeleton tissue. And if the shell of our shrimp can produce such a high quality of pharmaceutical or medical device, just imagine how good the trū Shrimp themselves must be!
Revolutionary Technology
The shrimp exoskeleton tissue used to produce trū Chitosan comes exclusively from shrimp cultured in our patented Tidal Basin Technology. Our state-of-the-art vertical farming technology creates a consistent water chemistry environment for shrimp to thrive and produce our pristine tissue.
