In recent years, the demand for animal extracts in the international market has continued to grow, becoming an important raw material for the pharmaceutical, health care, cosmetics and food industries. This type of product has attracted the attention of global buyers due to its unique bioactive ingredients and wide application potential. This article will introduce the main types of animal extracts, application areas and development trends in the foreign trade market.
Main types of animal extracts
Animal extracts are usually derived from mammals, marine organisms or insects, etc., and high-purity active ingredients are obtained through advanced extraction processes. Common types include collagen, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, sodium heparin and marine peptides. These ingredients are widely used in many industries due to their moisturizing, repairing and anti-aging properties.
Collagen is a star product among animal extracts and is widely used in the fields of skin care and health care products. Hyaluronic acid has become a core ingredient in the cosmetics industry due to its strong moisturizing ability. Sodium heparin, as a key raw material for anticoagulant drugs, has stable demand in the pharmaceutical field. In addition, marine biological extracts such as astaxanthin and oyster peptides are becoming the new favorites in the foreign trade market due to their antioxidant and immune-enhancing effects.
Diversified development of application fields
The application of animal extracts has expanded from traditional medicine and health products to food, cosmetics and even pet nutrition products.
