Sialic Acid
Description
Sialic Acid, also known as N-Acetylneuraminic Acid, is a family of acidic sugars typically found at the terminal positions of glycan chains on glycoproteins and glycolipids. It plays a vital role in brain development, neural signaling, immunity, and cell communication. Naturally abundant in breast milk and bird's nest, Sialic Acid is increasingly recognized for its role in supporting cognitive development, enhancing memory, and strengthening immune function.
