N-AcetylGlucosamine (NAG) is the N-acetyl derivative of glucosamine, a monosaccharide that is a key structural component of hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, and the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It is naturally found in the shells of crustaceans and in fungal cell walls.
In the dietary supplement market, NAG has emerged as a premium alternative to standard glucosamine due to its direct role as a precursor to hyaluronic acid synthesis and its documented benefits for gut mucosal health. It is used in joint health, digestive wellness, and skin hydration formulations.
We supply high-purity N-AcetylGlucosamine in bulk powder form to supplement and functional food manufacturers, available from both shellfish-derived and fermentation-based sources for allergen-sensitive product lines.
