An Ingredient with Skin and Other Benefits: Glucosamine.

Posted on November 8, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Glucosamine and N-acetyl-glucosamine (a derivative) are the raw materials needed for production in the body to make the following polymers: 1. Glycosaminoglycans (such as hyaluronic acid). 2. Proteoglycans. Glucosamine, which is safe and has beneficial effects on the skin, can be used internally and externally. Because of hyaluronic acid production, glucosamine results in the following: […]

Posted on December 6, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Hyaluronic acid (HA), a polymer with elastic properties, is a polysaccharide formed from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and glucuronic acid. HA belongs to a group of chemicals called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The activity of a specific form or polymer of HA depends on the size the molecule. HA forms an aggregation center for a large molecule of chondroitin sulfate […]
