N-acetyl glucosamine is an aminosaccharide synthesized from glucose and the amino acid L-glutamine, which is stabilized by complexation to an acetyl group. N-acetyl glucosamine is a precursor in the body of hyaluronic acid, which is part of the synovial fluid responsible for lubricating joints. NAG combines with mucin secreted by goblet cells to form the glycocalyx, a protective layer of glycoproteins and polysaccharides that protects the digestive tract. N-acetyl glucosamine is a universal form of glucosamine in joint and intestinal tissue.
