Product Information

• Name: a,a-D-Trehalose anhydrous
• Synonyms: a-D-Glucopyranosyl-a-D-glucopyranoside anhydrous
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trehalose is a sugar that is found in many organisms, including humans. It is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units. Trehalose has been shown to be effective against infectious diseases such as HIV and malaria. Trehalose may have anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). The water vapor pressure of trehalose dihydrate is higher than that of trehalose anhydrous, which may account for its greater stability under high humidity conditions.
