Pearl Peptide Powder

Introduction

Pearl peptide powder is a bioactive compound derived from freshwater or saltwater pearls, primarily from oysters or mussels, through advanced extraction processes like enzymatic hydrolysis or supercritical CO2 extraction. It contains peptides, amino acids, calcium, and trace minerals, making it a potent ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and modern skincare and health supplements. The powder is created by grinding sterilized pearls into a fine, bioavailable form, often micronized or nano-sized, to enhance absorption. It is valued for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties, with a history of use dating back to 320 AD in TCM for beauty and health.

Uses

• Skincare and Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and enhances skin elasticity by promoting fibroblast activity. It helps diminish dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne while improving skin tone and radiance.
• Wound Healing: Accelerates cell turnover and tissue repair, aiding in the healing of scars, burns, and ulcers due to its ability to enhance collagen deposition and cell migration.
• Bone and Joint Health: Provides bioavailable calcium and peptides that support bone density and joint health, potentially beneficial for conditions like osteoporosis.
• Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory: Contains amino acids (e.g., aspartate, glutamate) and minerals (e.g., magnesium, selenium) that boost antioxidant enzyme activity, reduce oxidative stress, and mitigate inflammation.
• Cardiovascular Health: Specific peptides, like KKCHFWPFPW, exhibit angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity, potentially aiding in blood pressure regulation.
• Mental Wellness: Acts as a Shen tonic in TCM, promoting calmness, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep quality.

Specifications

• Composition: Contains 95% calcium carbonate, 5% organic matter, including peptides, proteins (e.g., conchiolin, nacrein), and amino acids (e.g., cysteine, leucine). Over 30 trace minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and selenium.
• Molecular Weight: Peptides range from 1–10 kDa, with specific peptides like KKCHFWPFPW at 1417.5 Da, ensuring high bioavailability.
• Form: Fine, water-soluble powder (micronized to ~74 micrometers or nano-sized) or capsules. Can be mixed into liquids, creams, or used as a face mask.
• Dosage: Typical oral dose is 1–3 grams daily, mixed with water, tea, or smoothies. Topical use involves 1–10% concentration in formulations or as a mask (mixed with water or honey).
• Purity: Made from non-jewelry-grade pearls, sterilized, and free of heavy metals, shellfish allergens (if specified), and additives. Often produced in cGMP-certified facilities.
• Appearance: White or pale yellow fine powder
