N-acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) is the basic unit of many important polysaccharides in biological cells, especially in the Exoskeleton of crustaceans. It is an important prerequisite for the synthesis of bifidogenic factors and has many important physiological functions in organisms. For example, it can be used as a monomer of chitin by β- The 1,4-neneneba glycosidic bond is connected to form chitin. The chemical formula is C8H15NO6. It is a white powder. It has the property of being easily soluble in water. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antioxidant effects. It is clinically used to treat Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields. It can be used as food antioxidant, infant food additive, and sweetener for diabetes patients. Mainly used in clinical practice to enhance the function of the human immune system, inhibit the excessive growth of cancer cells or fibroblasts, and have inhibitory and therapeutic effects on cancer and malignant tumors; It can effectively treat all kinds of inflammation, Osteoarthritis and arthralgia | ||
