Available Formulations

The start of something big.

NOTE: Currently, we’re only listing our primary chitosan product (95% DDA / 750 kDa) for general purchase. We are rapidly expanding our operation to include multiple SKUs at various technical specifications, and we’ll add them here as soon as we’re confident that they can consistently meet our high quality requirements. In the meantime, if you’d like us to focus on a particular set of parameters to meet your unique needs, let’s talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I be sure that each product lot meets the listed specifications?

    Each product lot is tested by chitosan chemistry experts in a FDA-registered and ISO-accredited facility according to United States Pharmacopeia (USP)-validated methods specific to chitosan. The facility and its processes are audited multiple times each year for compliance.

  • Can trū Chitosan be used as an excipient?

    Yes. Chitosan HCL was added as an excipient to the European Pharmacopoeia 6.0 in 2002 followed by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP-NF 34) in 2012. Learn more here

  • Is trū Chitosan compatible with other ingredients?

    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.

  • Can trū Chitosan be used for medical applications?

    Yes. However, note that trū Chitosan by itself is not a medical product. It is not indicated by the FDA for any purpose other than as a raw material for other medical products or as an excipient.

  • Does trū Chitosan do custom formulations?

    Absolutely! We are more than happy to work with you and create a wide range of form factors (gel, liquid, solid, powder, fiber, fleece, etc.). Please contact us for more information.
