NAG contains the single ingredient N-acetyl-glucosamine, which provides the body with the precursors needed to repair wounded tissue, form healthy connective tissue, and regenerate mucous membranes of the intestinal lining.

N-acetyl-glucosamine promotes a healthy intestinal lining by maintaining the protective barrier that safeguards the intestinal lining from digestive enzymes and damaging toxins. By reducing inflammation and repairing intestinal mucosa, it is ideal support for people with symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBS, Chron’s, colitis).

As a precursor to hyaluronic acid, NAG supports healthy skin through increasing skin moisturization and preventing hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and signs of aging skin.

NAG supports musculoskeletal health through the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), essential for the formation of healthy connective tissue in cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and synovial fluid. Studies show it reduces pain and inflammation while enhancing knee function in osteoarthritis. In addition, it inhibits the enzyme elastase that breaks down proteins in connective tissue, helping to prevent inflammation and tissue damage.
