In sharp contrast to the requirements of osteoarthritis and other autoimmune diseases affecting the joints, N-acetyl glucosamine and not glucosamine is actually the better supplement for Crohn’s disease, colitis and inflamed/ damaged soft tissues of the gut. Therefore, supplying this end product is better than giving its precursor (glucosamine).
Giving N-acetyl glucosamine saves the user several biochemical steps involved in the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to N-acetyl glucosamine. In contrast, when glucosamine is given (as a sulfate salt, for example), it has to be first converted to glucose-6-phosphate and then taken through a number of steps before it is converted N-acetyl glucosamine.
Therefore, N-acetyl glucosamine supplements provide instantly available N-acetyl glucosamine while glucosamine supplements still need to be taken through several steps before they are converted into the compound needed to heal the gut.
N-acetyl glucosamine(NAG) is a monosaccharaide that is also related to glucose. However, unlike that simple sugar, N-acetyl glucosamine is not really a sugar but belongs to a class of compounds called amides although it is commonly described as a carbohydrate.
It is synthesized from the reaction between glucosamine and acetic acid.
N-acetyl glucosamine is pieced together to make a polymer known as chitin. Chitin is the compound that makes up the outer exoskeleton of insects and shellfish.
N-acetyl glucosamine is also found in cell walls of bacteria. Here, it is coupled with N-acetyl muramic acid by oligopeptide bridges to form a polymer known as peptidoglycan.
In humans, N-acetyl glucosamine couples with glucuronic acid to form hyaluronan, a major protective polymer found in joints and responsible for cushioning the grinding of bones against one another. In addition, N-acetyl glucosamine can be found in the mucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract.
The protective mucosal of the gut is made of glycoproteins. These are proteins with carbohydrates attached to them. N-acetyl glucosamine accounts for half of the carbohydrates in these glycoproteins.
Although, conclusive proofs for these indications are not available, the results of preliminary studies suggest that N-acetyl glucosamine is an effective healing agent. It is likely effective for diseases affecting the joints between bones because it can increase the production of hyaluronan.
N-acetyl glucosamine may also improve Crohn’s disease because it forms a major part of the glycoproteins incorporated in the mucosal layer of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, it will serve as a healing factor in inflamed, damaged soft tissues of the gut.
