Nucleotides
Maternal-infant Immune-focused Functional Nutrient-enhancing Base Material
Nucleotides are fundamental building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA/RNA). They are naturally-occurring small-molecule functional nutrients found in human bodies, plants and animals. Commercially produced mainly by microbial fermentation for purification and refinement, nucleotides are legally permitted food nutrient fortifiers in China. CNS No. 30.042, complying with GB 14880-2012 and GB 2760-2024. Widely applied in infant formula foods, dairy products and health foods. It features five core attributes: metabolic restoration, immune enhancement, intestinal care, growth support and improved nutrient absorption. It serves as a classic core base material for food nutrition upgrading and functional formula iteration.
Main Components: Composite nucleotide monomers of 5'-Adenylic acid, 5'-Guanylic acid, 5'-Cytidylic acid, 5'-Uridylic acid and 5'-Inosinic acid (customizable for single-component or multi-component ratios)
Core Specifications: Food-grade total nucleotide purity ≥99.0%. Precise and controllable single-component content (ratio customizable upon request). Compliant with national standards and dedicated standards for infant foods.
Appearance: White crystalline powder, odor-free, free of visible impurities, slightly salty and tasteless, non-irritating, uniform and loose powder.
Stability: Tolerant to conventional processing temperatures, acid and alkali, compatible with common food systems. Stable under neutral and weak acid-base conditions, resistant to decomposition under high-temperature sterilization. Shelf-life: 24 months when sealed, stored in cool and dry place away from sunlight.
Solubility: Easily soluble in pure water, yielding clear and transparent aqueous solution without precipitation or turbidity. Excellent compatibility with various food matrices including milk base, protein, carbohydrates and colloids; does not alter original flavor or system stability of end products.
➢ Regulatory Compliance:
Complies with Chinese national standards, EU regulations, US FDA and other global food additive specifications. Approved for use in infant formula foods with broad application scope, compliant labelling and top-tier safety profile.
➢ Processing Compatibility:
Good powder flowability, easy dissolution, no caking. Suitable for wet-process and dry-process production. Stable under common food processing such as high-temperature sterilization and spray drying, low barrier for formula adaptation.
➢ Essential Nutrient:
Core nutrient biosynthesized by human body and naturally present in breast milk. Participates in key body metabolism. Meets nutritional supplementation demands across all age groups including infants, middle-aged & elderly, and physically-vulnerable populations.
➢ Strong Compounding Performance:
Freely compoundable with functional raw materials such as lactoferrin, probiotics, DHA, ARA and dietary fiber for synergistic effects and improved overall nutritional value of finished products.
➢ Controllable Quality:
Pure pollution-free fermentation process, stable batch-to-batch purity, extremely low impurity levels, odor-neutral, no negative impact on taste and flavor. Ideal for high-end functional food formula upgrading.
Breast milk naturally contains multiple active nucleotides. This product’s composition matches the nucleotide profile of breast milk. It precisely fills nutritional gaps in formula foods, narrows nutritional differences between artificial formula and breast milk, and supports refined nutritional feeding for infants.
Participates in proliferation, differentiation and activity regulation of immune cells. Boosts activity of lymphocytes and macrophages, enhances the body’s resistance against pathogens, reduces susceptibility to infections and builds a robust immune barrier.
Promotes proliferation and regeneration of intestinal epithelial cells, repairs damaged intestinal mucosa and improves integrity of intestinal barrier to reduce permeation of harmful substances. Meanwhile it balances gut microbiota, facilitates growth of beneficial bacteria and improves digestion and nutrient absorption.
As core raw material for nucleic acid synthesis, it deeply engages in human protein synthesis, energy metabolism and cell regeneration. It supports physical and mental development of infants, alleviates metabolic decline in the middle-aged and elderly, and maintains normal physiological functions.
Synergistically boosts absorption and utilization of minerals, vitamins, proteins and other nutrients to reduce nutrient loss. It improves intestinal digestive efficiency, relieves bloating and indigestion, and is mild for sensitive gastrointestinal tracts.
Participates in bodily energy metabolic cycles, rapidly replenishes cellular energy, eases physical fatigue and accelerates repair of damaged cells. Suitable for daily physical maintenance for sedentary people, night-shift workers and physically-weak populations.
Nucleotides are indispensable fundamental functional nutrients for human beings. They cannot be fully synthesized endogenously and require exogenous supplementation. They deliver safe, mild and multi-dimensional physiological benefits:
Drives cell division and regeneration, supports comprehensive development of infant brain, bone and intestine, ameliorates growth retardation. It is a core nutrient fortifier for infant formula foods.
Modulates immune homeostasis. It enhances defensive capacity of healthy organisms and assists in regulating immune disorders. Delivers long-term mild care without irritation or dependency.
Targetedly repairs intestinal mucosal injury, strengthens intestinal barrier defense against allergens and pathogens. Alleviates common gastrointestinal issues including diarrhea, constipation and indigestion, suitable for people with sensitive guts.
Participates in metabolism and free-radical scavenging, mitigates oxidative damage, slows cellular senescence and sustains normal organ metabolic functions. Suited for health management of middle-aged & elderly and sub-healthy populations.
