CAS NO.: 131-48-6

Plant Extract Supply is proud to offer our premium-grade Organic High Purity Natural Sialic Acid Powder. Scientifically known as N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Neu5Ac), this vital amino sugar is a fundamental biological building block for essential compounds, including glycoproteins and gangliosides. Functioning as a key cellular mediator, Sialic Acid plays a critical role in cellular communication, neurological development, and immunological response.

Manufactured under stringent quality control protocols, our Sialic Acid powder provides exceptional stability, purity, and formulation compatibility. It is the ideal raw ingredient for dietary supplement manufacturers, advanced cosmetic formulators, and specialized functional food brands focused on cognitive health, anti-aging, and infant nutrition.

Key Industry Applications & Formulator Benefits

Our N-Acetylneuraminic Acid is highly versatile and engineered to deliver measurable biological efficacy across multiple product categories.

Nutritional Supplements & Functional Foods

  • Cognitive Enhancement & Nootropics: Sialic acid is a predominant structural component found in human brain tissue. Extensive research proves it is a crucial material for facilitating optimal memory retention, neuroplasticity, and learning functions.
  • Infant Nutrition & Formula: As one of the most vital nutritional components naturally occurring in human breast milk, Sialic Acid supplementation is highly sought after by global infant formula manufacturers to promote early-stage brain and cognitive development.
  • Immune System Modulation: Recognized as one of the eight essential glyconutrients for the human body, Sialic acid is ubiquitous within cellular membranes and neuronal tissues, where it acts to significantly bolster systemic immunity and protect cellular architecture.

Cosmeceuticals & Advanced Skincare

  • Cellular Anti-Aging & Rejuvenation: Sialic acid acts as a powerful, naturally occurring matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) inhibitor. By down-regulating MMP-1 expression and enzymatic activity, Sialic Acid facilitates the restoration of senescent (aging) cells to a healthy status. It maintains cellular stability, significantly reduces the velocity of cell recession, and extends the lifespan of dermal cells. Long-term topical application within skincare formulas effectively delays the visible signs of chronological aging and accelerates natural skin regeneration.
  • Targeted Skin Brightening & Whitening: Through its profound inhibitory mechanisms, Sialic acid fundamentally disrupts hyperpigmentation. It effectively inhibits both tyrosine hydroxylase and dopa hydroxylase activities, proactively preventing excessive melanin synthesis at the cellular level.
