At UMARERU Inc. ,we handle mainly the chain bond activated proteoglycans from Rinais Co., Ltd., which manufactures functional raw materials in Hokkaido.

Chain-linked proteoglycan points to a type of proteoglycan extracted as a complex molecule (non-broken hyaluronic acid chain) , compose of 2 to 3 proteoglycans bonded together using a patented manufacturing method.

Due to its large molecular weight (2 to 3 times the usual weight), chainlinked activated proteoglycan is anticipated to yield a high barrier moisturizing function. In addition, by promoting the regeneration of epidermal keratinocytes, proteoglycans is expected to bring significant skin improvement at the cellular level, to its original beauty effects, including EGF-like effects, promotion of fibroblast proliferation, and wrinkle-improvements. It beholds great promise and is attracting attention as a next-generation beauty and health product.

□ The current route for procuring raw materials make it difficult to control supply quantity and price.
□ Searching for safe-to-use proteoglycan
□ Searching for for state-of-art aging care ingredients
□ Searching for material with a moisturizing effect potentially greater than that of hyaluronic acid.
□ Searching for material which can repair skin damage and wrinkles.
□ The freshness of raw materials is also a major concern
□ Searching for completely domestic raw materials
□ Searching for Halal-certified raw materials

Proteoglycan is a type of glycoprotein formed by covalent bond of proteins and glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate. It exists in the extracellular matrix and cell surface of animals, including humans, and forms complex compounds with hyaluronic acid and collagen fibers. Proteoglycan can be found in the skin and joints, demonstrates waterretaining effects, and plays an important role in supporting the body.

Chain-linked active proteoglycan is extracted from the nasal cartilage of salmon caught in Hokkaido. The cartilage is collected and cleansed on the same day as the salmon is caught in order to maintain freshness. It is extracted using a low-temperature raw squeezing method. The elimination of high-temperature processing prevents the composition is undestroyed. The Hokkaido salmon nasal cartilage used in the chain-linked activated proteoglycan must satisfy the following conditions.

This patent describes a manufacturing method for producing ultra-high molecular weight proteoglycans averaging at 2.0 to 4.15 million Daltons by controlling various parameter conditions throughout the entire production process, from the extraction to the purification of salmon nasal cartilage, the raw material for proteoglycan. Until now, the average molecular weight of the conventional proteoglycan mass-produced by Rinais Co., Ltd. averages at 1.2 million Daltons, whereas with this patented technology, it is possible to produce proteoglycan with a molecular weight 2～3 times of that amount.

Ingredients are GMP, Kosher, and HALAL certified.

Proteoglycan which is an important constituent of cartilage and skin, decreases with age, including its molecular weight. The loss of water retention due the decrease in proteoglycan is thought to be one of the causes of age-related dry skin. For example, unbroken polymeric chainlinked proteoglycan is known to be found in baby skin, while broken proteoglycan with small molecular weight is found in the skin of the elderly. When using proteoglycan in cosmetics or health foods, we recommend chain-linked proteoglycans (baby skin proteoglycans).

Being from Hokkaido myself, I sensed the potential in Hokkaido salmon, and although I have been working with salmon-derived proteoglycan as a raw material for over 15 years, this is the first time I have felt so excited.

It was about 5 years from now. Day and night, I continued to search for effective ways to extract non-denatured proteoglycans from salmon without wasting any, and to establish methods for their analysis. There were many days where I stayed overnight in the laboratory immersed in research of highly pure proteoglycans.

I had gone through a range of hardships, but through trial and error, I continued to devote myself to pursuing the non-denatured property. Then one day I suddenly encountered a great possibility.

When I saw the molecular weight of a proteoglycan that was bigger than I had ever seen before or could imagine, I couldn't believe my eyes at first. Barely able to suppress my excitement, I gathered all the staff and asked each one to confirm it. I wasn’t sure whether it was a coincidence or an analysis mistake, but in order to make this a reality, I decided to proceed with my research on proteoglycans in aim of reproducibility.

Needless to say, I fully understood that without reproducibility, it would be difficult to commercialize this proteoglycan. Still, I simply refused to give up. The research took more time than I had expected as I had conducted it in between the production of ongoing products. Even so we were finally able to achieve stable manufacturing, and to realize the commercialization of chain-linked active proteoglycans.

We strongly believe and look forward to the potential of chain-linked active proteoglycan, which have a molecular weight 2～3 times larger than that of the usual proteoglycan, as well as to the possibility of opening up a new world.
