Of course, we also offer our chitosan glutamate specifications in Chitoceuticals® GMP compliant quality. Our GMP-compliant products are manufactured in our clean rooms according to EU GMP guidelines. As a result, they have a very low endotoxin limit and a very low microbial load.
The minimum order quantity is 10g. Our GMP-compliant products are currently not yet available in our store, but can be ordered by email. We will be pleased to make you an offer, please
