Product ID :TQPT003
Product Name : L-FUCOSE
CAS NO :2438-80-4
Molecular Formula:C6H1205
Molecular Weight: 164.16
Purity: >99%
Grade: Pharmaceutical Grade
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Application : (1) Anti infection, anti-cancer and immunity enhancement: L-fucose can combine with virus, bacteria and toxin to prevent it from infecting cells, so as to enhance the body's resistance.
(2) Skin moisturizing and delaying skin aging: L-fucose can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, prevent the damage of Na ascorbate to fibroblasts, and reduce the activities of proteolytic enzymes MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the skin, thus reducing skin damage. Smearing the cream containing 1% L-fucose on the skin of mice for four weeks can increase the density of collagen fibers in mouse skin, and increase the total thickness of skin epidermis, dermis and skin. It can increase skin tissue formation, reduce wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and delay skin aging.
(3) Nutritional supplement: L-fucose is one of the eight essential sugars for human body, and also one of the oligosaccharides in human mother's milk (sialic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, D-glucose and D-galactose are also contained in human breast milk). It is an ideal dietary supplement and nutritional supplement and immune enhancement factor for infant food.
