Pearl powder classification:
By source: freshwater pearl powder; Seawater pearl powder.
Classified by granularity:
Pearl powder can be divided into three categories based on its particle diameter:
1. Ordinary pearl powder: with a particle size of 200 mesh or more, it can meet the basic national requirements;
2. Ultra fine pearl powder: with a fineness of 1000 mesh or less (or a particle size of 15 microns or less);
3. Nano pearl powder: with a fineness of over 150000 mesh (or less than 100 nanometers). The finer the pearl powder, the higher the difficulty and price of the production process, but the finer the powder, the higher the absorption rate, and the better the efficacy.
Processing technology:
1. Natural pearl powder: It is manufactured using physical methods (such as ball milling, airflow crushing, and physical ultrafine powder technology), characterized by not adding any other substances or damaging any substances, and maintaining all the nutritional components of the pearl;
2. Pearl powder produced by chemical method: mainly produced by enzymatic or acid hydrolysis methods, characterized by being soluble in water and suitable for use by people with stomach acid deficiency. The disadvantage is that the nutritional content is incomplete, so it only has one or a few effects and is difficult to apply externally.

Modern nutritionists have shown that there is a serious imbalance between the daily calcium needs of modern humans and the actual intake of calcium. Pearl powder, as a new type of calcium supplement, is increasingly favored and valued by consumers, and is known as pearl calcium. Firstly, the calcium content is high, and pearl powder contains 90-92% active calcium, with a pure calcium content of 38-40%. Secondly, the digestion and absorption rate of calcium is high. Currently, there are two types of calcium supplements on the market: organic calcium and inorganic calcium, with absorption rates ranging from 25% to 32%. Calcium gluconate is 27%, calcium citrate is 30%, and ordinary pearl powder has an absorption rate of 29%. Nanoscale pearl powder has a higher absorption rate.
3. Delaying mourning for the elderly
Pearl powder itself contains three trace elements, including manganese, copper, and zinc, which are components of SOD. Applying pearl powder on the surface can promote the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the human skin, inhibit the synthesis of melanin, and maintain fair skin.

In severe cases, it can affect the pharyngeal mucosa. Pearl powder has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and converging wounds. The average particle size of special nano pearl powder is 40-100 nanometers, which is equivalent to 1/60 of pores. It can come into contact with the ulcer surface with the maximum surface area and exert its effects. At the same time, pearl powder has the effect of clearing stomach fire and reducing heart fire, and when taken orally, it can treat both symptoms and symptoms.
