Recently, the research team at Bloomage Biotech published an article titled The physiological characteristics and applications of sialic acid in the internationally renowned academic journal npj Science of Food (Impact Factor 6.3), a sub-journal of Nature. The paper systematically and comprehensively unveils the important roles of sialic acid in maintaining brain health, antiviral activity, anti-inflammatory effects, immune enhancement, and regulation of gut microbiota.
Sialic acid, the primary active compound found in bird’s nest—a traditional tonic delicacy—has long been regarded as a symbol of nourishment and wellness. On May 31, 2017, China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission (now the National Health Commission) issued Announcement No. 7 of 2017, officially approving N-acetylneuraminic acid (also known as sialic acid or bird’s nest acid) as a new food ingredient. Since then, N-acetylneuraminic acid has gained prominence in the functional food industry and has rapidly established itself in the market. Its popularity continues to rise, becoming a preferred choice for consumers pursuing beauty and health. (Source: Bloomage Biotech)
