Drawing on a legacy of innovation, Stanford Chemicals provides a comprehensive portfolio of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), including Medical Grade Sodium Hyaluronate, Chondroitin Sulfate, and a range of vitamins. As a globally recognized manufacturer of sodium hyaluronate, we ensure reliable API supply and localized support worldwide.

API quality is defined by two critical parameters: chemical identity and potency. Whether derived from plant or animal sources, we develop both crude extracts and highly purified molecules tailored to pharmaceutical requirements. Committed to green chemistry and eco-design, our processes leverage advanced development and analytical tools to prioritize safety and environmental stewardship.

Through continuous advancement in extraction and purification technologies, we deliver efficient, scalable processes to our partners, supporting their success with scientifically driven solutions.

The purpose of APIs according to the FDA is to cause ‘pharmacological activity or other direct effects in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease or to affect the structure and function of the human body.

Any drug or medication is composed of two components. The first is the API – which is the central ingredient. The second is known as the excipient, which is the inactive substance that serves as the vehicle for the API itself. If the drug is in a syrup form, then the excipient is the liquid that has been used to make it as such.
