N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) is a naturally occurring amino sugar and a precursor of hyaluronic acid, a key component of the synovial fluid that may help lubricates the joints.*
What Are the Potential Benefits of N-Acetyl Glucosamine?*
NAG is a natural building block of glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid, two families of molecules found in cartilage and in the fluid that cushions the joints. As part of an active lifestyle, it may help:*
- Support already healthy cartilage.* Cartilage relies on glycosaminoglycans to stay flexible and resilient. A placebo-controlled study in healthy adults has looked at the effect of daily NAG on markers of cartilage metabolism.*
- Support joint flexibility and mobility.* As a building block of hyaluronic acid, NAG may help maintain the smooth movement of already healthy joints.*
Can N-Acetyl Glucosamine Be Combined with Chondroitin?
Chondroitin sulfate is another glycosaminoglycan naturally present in cartilage. NAG and chondroitin are often combined because they play complementary roles in the structure of cartilage, which may help support overall joint health.*
