Regulatory Compliance
Mirexus’ Phytoglycogen Nanoparticle is not classified as a nanomaterial by regulatory and certification bodies because it is:
- Water soluble (individual molecules remain in solution indefinitely)
- Not biopersistant – the material is quickly and easily degraded to simple sugars in the environment and in the body
- Not intentionally manufactured – it is simply extracted from corn in the same state as it is found in nature
