Characteristic
COS-600 reduces blood glucose and triacylglycerides more efficiently than other chitooligosaccharide products.
Chitooligosaccharide (COS) is a small molecule hydrolyzed chitosan, whose degree of polymerization (DP) is about 2-10. The most attracted bioactivity of COS is to reduce factors causing metabolic syndrome and other activities include anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation (1). A growing amount of reports shows that hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia induce oxidative stress and chronic inflammation by increased free radicals, and subsequent immune dysfunction (2). In recent years, many companies and institutes in China, Korea and Japan have explored applications of COS to improve hyperglycemia through incorporation into healthy foods.
Chitobiose and chitotriose are the only COS that are small enough to be absorbed directly by the gastrointestinal tract and skin; therefore, they can be detected in blood 30 minutes after administration (3). Simpson Biotech produces ultra-low molecular weight COS products, COS-600 Plus and COS-600 Super, which contain over 65% and 95% of chitobiose and chitotriose, respectively, per total product weight.
