Nutricology N-Acetyl Glucosamine 500 mg - NAG Supplement Capsules - Connective Tissue & Gut Support - Vegan & Hypoallergenic - 90 Servings - 90 Capsules

After a recent diagnosis of Crohns and several years of having intermittent digestive issues, I started doing some in depth research. All of the big pharma drugs are funded by big pharma $$ and agendas. I founds some articles dating back to the 1980s and two studies (one in 2000 with children and another in 2013/2014 with adults). The studies were based on finding that those with digestive inflammation were lacking a certain amino sugar (N-acetyl Glucosamine). This sugar is actually broken down from glucosamine, but appears to be lacking or very low in population in the digestive track when it is inflamed. So, the 2000 and 2013/2014 study has participants that were given this in a dosage to see what happens. And the results were good. There were no placebos or before and after imaging (as there is no funding by big pharma when it comes to things that are not expensive). Something to consider and research on your own. So far, I appear to be responding to it. Much better than the Humira that my GI doc insisted was the only thing that could help me. Humira suppresses your immune system (literally making you weaker and more susceptible to death)... and it only reduces the symptoms. It doesn't to treat digestive issues. Using NAG just seems to make more sense if it actually works... and so for, my personal reaction has been well.

The vegan hype ruined the product. When this was derived from shellfish it worked great, now it doesn't work at all. They switched to corn derived N.A.G. because of shellfish allergies while even more people are allergic to corn and it does not work! If companies were smart they would keep both versions or give it a rest trying to market to vegans. Humans were not designed to be vegan

This product was recommended by my nutritionist to help repair stiffness in my severely sprained ankle, which was still tender and stiff even after a year. It has helped enormously, and has made me feel less stiff generally. It differs in a significant way from plain glucosamine, which I had tried without great success, and I have found it very helpful for muscle and joint stiffness.

This product works great for joints. I've worked in the industry and this was one of my "go to" brands for recommendations. I still use a number of products from them and continue to be highly satisfied with them all.

Great for Crohn's patients who can't acetylate glucosamine in their gut and for anyone with leaky gut problems.

I just received a notification that this product has been recalled. DO NOT BUY!

I have been using this product for almost a month, and I have noticed that the stiffness in my body (especially my lower back) is decreasing, which is really encouraging to me! The product was shipped promptly and I received it within a couple of days, so I was pleased with the provider as well.

I have been taking this for over a year and it has not made any difference in my joint. I think Nutricology is a good company and take other vitamins by them which have helped me. I will probably stop taking this item when I finish the bottle.
