Targeted Gut Health Solution: SRBio Polaprezinc (L-Zinc Carnosine)
SRBio Polaprezinc is a high-purity, chelated compound of L-carnosine and zinc, produced through patented crystallization technology. As a clinically validated gastrointestinal mucosal protective agent, it offers a dual-action mechanism: zinc promotes tissue repair and regeneration, while L-carnosine provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This unique synergy makes Polaprezinc the gold-standard ingredient for gastric health applications, from pharmaceutical ulcer treatments to daily gut-support nutraceuticals.

2. Advanced Chelation & Crystallization Technology
-
Proprietary Synthesis Process:
-
Precision Chelation: Our patented process ensures stoichiometric 1:1:1 molar ratio of zinc ion, L-carnosine, and water molecule, guaranteeing consistent bioactivity.
-
Multi-Stage Crystallization: Controlled cooling crystallization produces uniform crystals with optimal particle size distribution.
-
Gentle Drying: Low-temperature vacuum drying preserves molecular integrity and prevents degradation.
-
-
Particle Size Control:
-
Standard grade: 70% through 80 mesh.
-
Customizable particle size available for specific formulation needs (e.g., direct compression, suspensions).
-
-
Annual Capacity: 40+ metric tons of high-purity Polaprezinc, with flexible production scheduling to match customer demand cycles.
3. Stability & Shelf-Life Superiority
-
Accelerated Stability Data: Retains ≥98% potency after 24 months at 25°C/60% RH (ICH Q1A tested).
-
pH Adaptability: Stable in acidic environments (pH 1.2-3.0, typical gastric fluid); controlled release in neutral intestinal fluid (pH 6.8-7.4) to avoid systemic zinc overload.
-
Formulation Compatibility: No discoloration or efficacy loss in solid dosage forms after 24 months of storage. Microencapsulated grade available for liquid formulations to prevent sedimentation.
Scientific Evidence: Mechanism & Clinical Efficacy
1. Gastrointestinal Mucosa Targeting
-
Mechanism of Action:
-
Site-Specific Adhesion: Polaprezinc adsorbs to damaged gastric mucosa via electrostatic interaction, forming a protective barrier that lasts >6 hours (vs. 1-2 hours for ordinary zinc supplements).
-
Zinc Component: Promotes epithelial cell proliferation and collagen synthesis to accelerate mucosa repair.
-
Carnosine Component: Inhibits reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-8) to reduce mucosal irritation and inflammation.
-
-
Clinical Outcomes:
-
↑82% ulcer healing rate after 4 weeks in clinical trials (vs. 56% for placebo) – Japanese pharmaceutical study.
-
Significant reduction in gastric mucosal injury scores in NSAID-induced gastropathy models.
-
2. Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Effects
-
Mechanism: L-carnosine acts as a direct scavenger of hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen, while zinc stabilizes cell membranes and inhibits oxidative stress pathways.
-
Clinical Outcomes:
-
Reduces markers of oxidative stress (↓MDA, ↓8-OHdG) in gastric tissue.
-
Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines in models of chronic gastritis.
-
3. Safety Profile
-
Low Toxicity: LD₅₀ >5,000 mg/kg (rat, oral).
-
Long-Term Safety: No adverse effects observed in 12-month long-term toxicity studies.
-
Global Regulatory Status:
-
Japan: Listed as a prescription drug ingredient for peptic ulcer treatment.
-
EU: Approved as a Novel Food ingredient (NF) for nutraceuticals.
-
China: Included in the “Catalog of Food Additives and Nutritional Fortifiers.”
