Pharmaceutical Applications

Mykito Chitosan is the purest Non-Animal chitosan in the world. This chitosan does not have the betaglucins, heavy metals and other contaminants that are commonly found in chitosan. The Mykito technology is robust, repeatable and produces consistent results.

Biomedical Scaffolds

Chitosan-based scaffolds can be used for tissue engineering applications, providing a 3D framework for cell growth and tissue regeneration.

Contact Lenses

Chitosan can be used in the production of contact lenses, as it can provide a biocompatible and antimicrobial surface.

DAntimicrobial Agents

Chitosan's antimicrobial properties make it useful in formulations for wound care products, as well as in products like creams and ointments for treating fungal and bacterial infections.

Dental Applications

Chitosan can be used in oral hygiene products, such as toothpaste and mouthwash, due to its antibacterial properties. It can also be incorporated into dental materials like composites and cements.

Drug Delivery Systems

Chitosan can be used to encapsulate drugs, allowing for controlled release and targeted delivery. It can be formulated into nanoparticles, microparticles, or hydrogels for this purpose.

Gastrointestinal Drug Delivery

Chitosan can be used to formulate oral drug delivery systems that protect drugs from degradation in the stomach, facilitating targeted delivery to the intestines.

Gene Delivery

Chitosan nanoparticles can be utilized for gene delivery due to their ability to condense and protect genetic material, allowing for safe and efficient gene therapy.

Pharmaceutical Coatings

Chitosan can be used as a coating material for pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, and granules. It can help in controlling drug release, protecting drugs from external environment, and improving stability.

Vaccine Adjuvants

Chitosan can enhance the effectiveness of vaccines by acting as an adjuvant. It helps in stimulating the immune system, leading to a stronger and longer-lasting immune response.

Weight Management and Obesity Treatment

Chitosan is used as a dietary supplement to aid in weight loss. It is believed to help in fat absorption, though its effectiveness is a subject of ongoing research.

Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration

Chitosan's biocompatibility makes it suitable for wound dressings. It can help promote tissue regeneration, control bleeding, and prevent infections.
