Healthwise NAG; N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine 150g, For Joint Health

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a modified form of glucosamine, which is an amino sugar and a key building block of many biological molecules, including glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are found in cartilage, connective tissue, and the lining of the digestive tract.

NAG is often used in supplements due to its potential benefits for joint health, inflammation, and gut health. It is thought to support the production of glycosaminoglycans like hyaluronic acid, which can help with tissue repair, hydration, and lubrication in joints.

It may also help protect and repair the mucosal lining of the gut, making it beneficial for conditions like leaky gut syndrome or inflammatory bowel diseases.

Unlike regular glucosamine, NAG is more readily absorbed by the body, and some believe it may have additional benefits in terms of bioavailability and supporting overall immune system health.
