Jarrow Formulas® N-A-G 700 mg, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, Acetylated Form of Glucosamine for Bone and Joint Support, 120 Veggie Capsules, Up to 120 Servings

It's confusing how there are several products listed so I want to make this clear, I am ONLY reviewing the N-A-G. Jarrow products are a bit more expensive then others but that's because they work so well. This was one of the first products of Jarrow's I tried. After seeing or rather feeling results in a couple of days they won me over. I don't take N-A-G everyday. There are a lot of herbs and vitamins I don't take as "directed" I take as my body requires. I am blessed with a system that is very reactive to anything I take. I can tell exactly what it's doing and how. The good and the bad. And that is why I don't take N-A-G daily. I take it "as needed." When my hands, and knee start to act up is when I take N-A-G. If I'm feeling a bit backed up, I'll take it as well. I generally take one pill for about three days and I'm sorted till I overdo things. These "pills" are a big bigger than a say an Aleeve. So if you have problems swallowing you may have issues with the size.

It works. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to receive product. I wish they could improve it. Otherwise the product is great 👍

Here is why Glucosamine Supplements may work for you (depending on what you eat). The theory is that we consume certain plants that are high in lectins. (For some plants lectins are natural defense in nature). After consumption, the lectins bind to polysaccharides found on human cells. Joint tissue in particular are high in polysaccharides that lectins will bind to. Glucosamine supplementation will bind to the lectins in the digestive system rather than allow the lectins to circulate, attach to joint tissue and create an inflammation response i.e. joint pain. After a week my joints feels about the same but my intestines feel better. Full disclosure I started this supplement with a few other intestinal support supplements.

This stuff has really turned my life around. For much of my life I have suffered from an unstable lower digestive system. Gas, cramps, etc. Not bad enough to want to take my chances with MD doctors, whom I mistrust about 95% of the time, but bad enough to be really fussy about what I could eat and bad enough that even that often didn't help. Then I read about this in a naturopathic doctor's newsletter and gave it a try. It apparently coats the inside of your intestinal tract with a protective layer that reduces or prevents the normal symptoms of IBS and IBD. It can also help with Leaky Gut Syndrome. I used up a bottle before I really began to notice a change in how I felt, but the stuff is cheap enough that I didn't worry about how much I would have to try before I could definitively say "aye or nay" on it. For me, it is a big "Aye". Your mileage may vary. But if you suffer from a lot of abdominal discomfort, it would be worth your while to do a little research around this product. This is the only brand I've used; there's not a lot of other competing brands out there. I think it is a substance that really hasn't gotten the attention that it deserves yet.

Before I started taking this, I couldn't even use a toothpaste like Squigle (which uses a mild surfactant, Polaxamer, versus the harsher surfactants, like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, that major brands use) because it would give me painful canker sores. Two weeks after starting Jarrow NAG, I started using Squigle. I got two minor (less painful than usual) sores, but they went away after a week and I haven't had any since (I've been taking this product for six weeks). My nutrition-expert-friend says that it takes 4-6 weeks for the oral mucosa to regenerate and hence see the effects of NAG, so my experience fits with his explanation. I've also found that this has reduced stiffness in my shoulders and back. I used to be particular about the bed I slept on. Now I'm more flexible about where I sleep. Even when I sleep on an older, soft mattress, my back doesn't hurt in the morning (it would before I started taking NAG). Update (8/26/13): I've been taking this for a year now. Besides eliminating my canker sores, this has also put a stop to my gum recession. This stuff is amazing!

I have ulcerative colitis and started using this product after reading some "shows promise" studies about how it can possibly help heal the gut mucosa in IBD. I was on steroids for a flare at the time I started using it, and had severe joint problems to the point of being barely able to walk. I was even going to physical therapy at the time. Soon after I started taking this product regularly (a week or two), my joint pain began to subside significantly (my knees and hips) in spite of the steroids I was still on, and I was able to join a gym and begin to regain my pre-flare strength. I also saw improvement in my bowel symptoms though that was not quite so dramatic as what I saw in my joints - the steroids mask a lot of course. Now that I am off the 'roids, I am hopeful that this in addition to other supplementation (VSL#3, a variety of vitamins and minerals) will help keep me that way. And oh by the way - my joints are operating at 99% now doing HIIT training at the gym (great gains) and ballroom dancing and horseback riding! I wasn't expecting to be able to do high-impact workouts again without leg braces, much less get back in the saddle without a step ladder!

Come tutti gli integratori, i benefici si apprezzano nel lungo periodo di assunzione del prodotto. L'ho preso per mia madre anziana, diabetica con problemi di dolori alle cartilagini e tendini , con parere positivo del medico curante e diabetologo. Dopo 2 mesi sente qualche beneficio.

I'm a qualified ketogenic nutritionist and can confirm that N-Acetyl Glucosamine is one of the most important bioactive supplements to be taken for intestinal health. Simply put, it "repairs" the intestinal lining that has been damaged by years of stress, antibiotics & spicy, acidic food. NAG heals the intestinal lining and makes way for the development of good bacteria -- an essential part of colon health. You can understand the importance of gut health by reading about ketogenic diets. In addition to gut health, Jarrow NAG also helps reinforce your joints. I recommend this supplement for everyone above 30.
