High Quality N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Sialic Acid CAS 131-48-6

High Quality Bird's Nest Extract Powder Sialic Acid 98% Bird Nest Extracted Powder

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (also known as sialic acid or bird's nest acid) is the predominant form of sialic acid found in human cells and many mammalian cells. It is a monosaccharide that plays critical roles in numerous biological processes.

The extract is valued because it captures the water-soluble bioactive components of the raw nest in a convenient, bioavailable form, eliminating the lengthy and skilled preparation process required for whole nests.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) is an endogenous monosaccharide that serves as:

1. A key biological molecule – The predominant sialic acid in humans, essential for cell membrane structure, neural function, and cellular recognition 

2. An emerging cosmetic ingredient – The first new ingredient filed under China's reformed regulations (2021), with approved functions including anti-wrinkle, antioxidant, skin protection, and moisturizing at ≤2% concentration 

3. A research compound – Shows potential in anti-melanogenesis, cardiovascular health, and as a neuraminidase inhibitor for antiviral research; however, most evidence comes from laboratory and animal studies
