Production Introduction：

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid, also known as sialic acid, is a naturally occurring amino sugar that plays vital roles in human biology. As a key component of cell membranes, it mediates critical biological processes including promoting brain development, enhancing cognitive abilities, and modulating the immune system. In February 2016, N-Acetylneuraminic Acid was granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the FDA in the United States through a scientific procedure, allowing its use as an ingredient in full-term infant formula. In May 2017, N-Acetylneuraminic Acid was approved by the National Health Commission of China as a novel food. Countries and regions such as the European Union, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore also widely use sialic acid as a food ingredient.
