This review is in reply to the person who said n-acetylglucosamine gave her 'overwhelming fatigue' because 'both N Acetyl Glucosamine and Glucosamine can diminish ATP production'. This is simply not true. The study she refers to was in a petri dish where PARASITES 'lost viability' because THEIR ATP was depleted. Not a human study! NAG has been used with some success in M ...

This review is in reply to the person who said n-acetylglucosamine gave her 'overwhelming fatigue' because 'both N Acetyl Glucosamine and Glucosamine can diminish ATP production'. This is simply not true. The study she refers to was in a petri dish where PARASITES 'lost viability' because THEIR ATP was depleted. Not a human study! NAG has been used with some success in MS, where patients would NOT improve if they became more fatigued, and also RA, ME/CFS and nasal allergies. I've found it helpful for my ME/CFS muscle weakness and also for anxiety. It helps me to relax...and perhaps the other reviewer took too much to start, which made her 'too relaxed'?

I started taking NAG to combat restless legs caused by gut inflammation. I did a good bit of research, and all I saw was how safe it is unless you are allergic to shellfish. I only took NAG for 4 days but began to experience weird, overwhelming fatigue. I stopped taking it but the fatigue continued. I did more serious research and found studies that showed that both N Acetyl Glucosamine and Gl ... Show Full Comment

I did more serious research and found studies that showed that both N Acetyl Glucosamine and Glucosamine can diminish ATP production - BINGO! I will never take this again. Please be careful if you decide to try it. Stop if you feel any fatigue.

I had severe progressive neuropathy which was diagnosed as guillain barre syndrome. Since NAG has been found to have positive effects in MS, I thought it was worth a try. I am basically symptom free now, and have been for 5 years, but the dosage I found to work is much higher than what I see people here taking.

I had severe progressive neuropathy which was diagnosed as guillain barre syndrome. Since NAG has been found to have positive effects in MS, I thought it was worth a try. I am basically symptom free now, and have been for 5 years, but the dosage I found to work is much higher than what I see people here taking. For the first 6 months, I took 12 capsules of 750mg twice a day, for a total of 18 grams per day. I started seeing significant results after about 3 months, although symptom progression stopped soon after I got up to that dosage. Now, I am on a maintenance dose of 7 capsules of 700mg twice a day, almost 10 grams. I find that I can reduce it to 6 capsules twice a day for a few weeks, but after that symptoms start to return. So 7 it is. If you have tried this supplement for auto-immune issues and it hasn't worked for you, try increasing the dosage as I did if you can, and see if you get better results.

I cannot continue to take this supplement for my intended purpose as it has aggravated my asthma. So it may work great in people without asthma.
