N-Acetyl Glucosamine reduces arthritis
Collagen-induced arthritis: severity and immune response attenuation using multivalent N-acetyl glucosamine.
Most Relevant Research
We aimed to understand how N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties, affects the development and severity of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Our investigation involved applying a special multivalent GlcNAc-terminated glycoconjugate and assessing its influence through various methodologies.
The results were promising. We observed that GlcNAc treatment significantly reduced inflammation at the site of arthritis, notably decreasing the presence of immune cells that contribute to the disease. Furthermore, it appeared to hinder the activation of other immune cells, which are often involved in the production of harmful pro-inflammatory molecules.
Additionally, GlcNAc treatment not only delayed the onset of arthritis symptoms but also eased the severity of these symptoms in many cases. We found that about 18% to 31% of participants treated with GlcNAc completely avoided any arthritis symptoms. Overall, our findings support a new approach to managing arthritis by focusing on the glycobiological aspects of treatment, presenting GlcNAc as a potential therapeutic option for those suffering from this debilitating condition.

I discovered this supplement by chance on the iHerb website. I suffer from various food allergies, digestive issues, and arthritis. After a difficult weekend with an upset stomach and aching arthritis, I began taking this supplement. My stomach felt soothed immediately, and my arthritis pain vanished. I can hardly believe the improvement in my arthritis and digestion. I have no plans to stop taking this supplement.

Remarkable ulcer relief
Most Useful Review
Amazing results for ulcerative colitis and gut issues! After 10 years of mild ulcerative colitis, I had been using probiotics like Visbiome, but it wasn't enough. I started taking this after a six-month flare and, within a week, felt 100% better! I’m so happy to find this product. Just one a day lasts me four months, and alongside taking zinc carnosine, it has been miraculous. I discovered this through another Amazon review and am extremely grateful!

Mild anxiety relief
Most Useful Review
I read that NAG could help with anxiety, so I decided to give it a try since prescription medications haven’t worked without undesirable side effects. Within just a couple of days, I noticed some improvement; now, I can go grocery shopping without feeling overwhelmed by anxiety. While I still need to work on my social skills—therapy will help—this supplement has also provided some relief for my joint pain. Overall, I’m pleased with the early results.

Life-changing remedy
Most Useful Review
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, which causes extreme pain and bloating. After trying many remedies, Jarrow's NAG and Swanson's Zinc Carnosine have been life-changing. They keep my intestinal discomfort in check, enabling me to function without pharmaceuticals. If I skip it, the pain returns. I plan to take it long-term.

Eases cold arthritis

Once I started with Glucosamine/Chondroitin, I learned that when I don’t take them during cold or rainy seasons, arthritis pain returns. I've used this brand for about two years, only taking two capsules daily. Until proven otherwise, I will continue as it helps me.

Knees feel better
Most Useful Review
My knees do feel good. I have multiple sclerosis and found a study indicating a supplement helped overall symptoms and slowed disease progression. Since 2009, my progression has thankfully been slow. I think this supplement contributed to that, especially as I was already taking glucosamine for my knees.

NAG enhances asthma drug delivery
Triggering effect of N-acetylglucosamine on retarded drug release from a lectin-anchored chitosan nanoparticles-in-microparticles system.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) can help improve drug delivery in treating asthma. The study involved creating a unique system where a drug called salmeterol xinafoate (SalX) is loaded into nanoparticles and modified with a specific protein called wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). This combination aimed to see if the addition of NAG would enhance drug release from the delivery system.
Our findings revealed that the use of WGA indeed slowed down the initial release of the drug. When NAG was introduced to this modified system, we observed a significant increase in drug release, suggesting that the interaction between NAG and WGA played a vital role. However, it’s important to note that NAG did not have a noticeable effect on drug release from systems that didn’t involve WGA.
This research indicates that NAG could act as a trigger, potentially allowing for better control over how medications are delivered when using lectin-modified carriers. This exciting approach could pave the way for more effective asthma treatments, particularly for those needing tailored therapies at specific times.

Asthma symptoms returned
Most Useful Review
While using this supplement for joint pain, I began to experience asthma symptoms not felt since childhood, even while on oral steroids for another condition. I've stopped using it, but if the asthma improves, I might consider resuming.
