Source Naturals N-A-G 500 mg - N-Acetil Glucosamina para el Soporte de los Tejidos Conectivos - 120 Comprimidos

What is N-Acetyl Glucosamine (N-A-G)?

N-Acetyl Glucosamine (N-A-G) is an amino sugar formed from L-glutamine and glucose. It is a fundamental component for the synthesis of complex molecules that form part of the body's connective tissues: tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone matrix, skin, joint fluid, and intestinal lining. This Source Naturals supplement provides 500 mg of NAG per dose (2 tablets) to support the structure and function of these tissues.*

Benefits for connective tissues

N-A-G is a precursor to glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid, essential components of the extracellular matrix. By providing this molecule, it contributes to the normal maintenance of connective tissues. This can be especially relevant for those looking to maintain the flexibility and resistance of tendons and ligaments, as well as the integrity of articular cartilage. In addition, N-A-G also participates in the health of the intestinal mucosa, supporting the intestinal barrier.*

Who is N-A-G recommended for?

This supplement can be useful for people with intense physical activity who want to maintain the health of their joints and connective tissues. It may also be of interest to those seeking additional support for skin, nails, and the intestinal lining. N-A-G is a key nutrient for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which contributes to the elasticity and strength of the skin.*

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between N-A-G and glucosamine sulfate?

N-Acetyl Glucosamine is an acetylated form of glucosamine, which is absorbed differently. While glucosamine sulfate is commonly used for joint health, N-A-G focuses on the formation of connective tissues in general.

Can I take N-A-G if I am vegetarian?
