N-Acetyl-Glucosamine

Glucosamine (NAG)

What is that?

N-Acetyl-Glucosamine (NAG) is a natural form of glucosamine and an essential building block for joints, cartilage and the intestinal wall. It is a modified variant of glucosamine, in which an acetyl group is linked to the molecule. This ensures better absorption and increased effectiveness in the body. (most stable variant on the market)

NAG is often extracted from the shells of crustaceans, but plant-based alternatives are also available. It occurs naturally in synovial fluid and plays a crucial role in the building and repair of cartilage and mucous membranes. As a result, it is widely used in supplements to support joint health, digestive health, muscle function, and skin improvement.

What is the difference between N-acetylglucosamine and ordinary glucosamine?

NAG is a more biologically active and more easily absorbed form of glucosamine. Unlike standard glucosamine, NAG is used directly to build cartilage and protect the intestinal lining.

Can NAG help with joint pain and osteoarthritis?🦵

As an organization we have to be careful with 'claims' and references to certain conditions.
We know from practice that NAG has positive effects on the joints, but also on inflammation and pain.

N-Acetyl-Glucosamine supports the production of cartilage and synovial fluid, which keeps the joints more flexible and can reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis.

*a supplement is never a replacement for food and/or personal treatments. Always consult your doctor.

Is NAG geschikt voor mensen met een gevoelige spijsvertering? 💩

Yes, NAG helps to strengthen the intestinal lining and may be beneficial for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut).

Can I combine NAG with other supplements?

Yes, NAG works well in combination with hyaluronic acid, collagen, MSM and chondroitin for joint and skin health.

Preferably in liquid form for optimal absorption and effectiveness.
