Description

Chlorogenic Acid is a key polyphenolic compound and ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid, widely recognized for its potent antioxidant properties. This high-purity ingredient is essential for formulators seeking natural, science-backed bioactive components for health and wellness applications. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and functional food and beverage industries, where efficacy and quality are paramount.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: A primary ingredient in antioxidant formulations, weight management products, and supplements targeting metabolic health and blood sugar support.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of drugs for its potential hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: Incorporated into serums, creams, and lotions for its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties to protect against environmental stressors.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Added to health drinks, fortified foods, and sports nutrition products to enhance their antioxidant profile and functional benefits.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard reference material and key reagent in biochemical, pharmacological, and nutritional studies within academic and industrial laboratories.
• Natural Preservatives: Utilized in certain food systems for its ability to inhibit oxidation and extend shelf life naturally.

Quality Control

Our Chlorogenic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive quality documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail purity, identity, and impurity profiles. The product is suitable for applications requiring compliance with various pharmacopeial standards, and custom grades to meet specific USP, FCC, or in-house specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
