Product Advantages
NAG (N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine) is a functional amino monosaccharide that can be produced through bio-fermentation and serves as an important precursor for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid. In beauty and skincare, NAG supports skin moisturization, skin-barrier repair, complexion brightening, dark-spot reduction, and the improvement of fine lines. In food and animal nutrition, it provides nutritional support for cartilage and joint health while helping maintain normal immune function and intestinal health. With good water solubility and formulation compatibility, NAG is suitable for use in skincare products, functional foods, dietary supplements, and pet nutrition products.
