N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a high-purity amino monosaccharide with an assay of 98.0–102.0%, derived from chitin — the structural polysaccharide found in crustacean shells or produced through microbial fermentation. NAG is a critical building block of hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, and joint cartilage proteoglycans, making it an important structural ingredient for joint health, skin hydration, and gut barrier support formulations.
Unlike standard glucosamine salts (sulphate or hydrochloride), N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine is more directly incorporated into hyaluronic acid synthesis pathways — making it particularly relevant for skin hydration and beauty supplement formulations where hyaluronic acid production support is desired.
Applications:
- Joint Health (cartilage support, joint mobility, osteoarthritis management supplements)
- Beauty Supplements (skin hydration, HA synthesis support, anti-ageing formulations)
- Gut Health (intestinal barrier integrity, leaky gut support formulations)
- Nutraceuticals (connective tissue health, wound healing, recovery supplements)
Key Features & Benefits:
- 98.0–102.0% assay – pharmaceutical grade purity
- Direct precursor for hyaluronic acid and cartilage proteoglycan synthesis
- Supports joint health, skin hydration, and gut barrier integrity
- Halal-certified & food-grade quality
- Suitable for capsule, tablet, and powder formulations
