Quality Control

Our Fucoidan is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality parameters typically include assay (sulfated polysaccharide content), sulfate content, fucose content, and limits for heavy metals and microbiological contamination. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant specifications for food, nutraceutical, or research grades are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
