N-Acetyl Glucosamine

[mj47]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has information regarding the dosage to take of N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG), for autoimmune issues.
I can’t seem to find what dosage to try for an adult male.
Links, articles, personal experiences are all welcome.
Thanks so much in advance!

Am not a male but i take 2,000 mg’s daily – a 20 lb dog can take 500 to 1,000 mg’s safely long term I say this for a comparison basis in weights – I have taken this for a few yr’s & it does help a little can tell if I miss let’s put it that way – not a cure but you take what you can get – & I have to hope it slows down the SD a little maybe.

best – Jill

Thanks for your input Cavalier! I’m curious how you found out about NAC & what your sources are for your dosing. I’m glad to hear that it helps you (even if it’s just a little).

Lynnie thanks for the link! 🙂

Jill, et al,

Be careful! NAC is not NAG.

I do take NAC, as do a number of others. However, Glucosamine is not recommended for SD because of it’s collogen-promoting “benefits”. By the way, I just received that same guidance from Dr. F. last week.

Randy – MANY thanks for this – I take NAC AND Glucosomine Chondrotin. The 1st is for my lungs. The 2nd has helped the aches & pains & joints a little – is this what you are refering too in making the SD worse ? I certainly dont need anything that may help raise collagen production. I have been afraid to take Vit. C or hyalronic acid for fear of collagen production even though Vit C certainly has it’s benefits I just am not sure how the body handles things when the immune is confused by bacteria causing the disarray.

Am a bit confused now we are taking about Glucosamine or are we talking about NAC – 2 different things. I was refering to Glucosamine this link is one that tells of standard doses – for glucosamine -http://www.jointsupplementsreviewed.com/joint-supplement-reviews/deva-vegan-glucosamine-msm-cmo-review/ The dosages I mention for a 20 lb dog are on the product my dogs (Cavaliers) take Longevity by Springreen – some other products go up to 1,500 for canines.

I feel it has helped my joints a little but am now concerned due to SD with Randy’s comment as I dont want or need more collagen being made. Best – Jill

Hi Jill,

Yes, this is the correct understanding. I used to take Glucosamine Sulfate for my osteoarthritis…..but NOT anymore due to SD.
