What Is N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) Powder?

Our N-Acetyl Glucosamine Powder​ is a 99.5% pure, crustacean shell-derived polysaccharide monomer​ produced via enzymatic hydrolysis and low-temperature crystallization. Sourced from Chionoecetes opiliocrabs in the Shandong Yellow Sea (China’s premium shellfish region), it features N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine ≥99.5% HPLC​ with minimal impurities. The 100-mesh powder is ideal for cosmetic barrier repair serums, joint health supplements, and functional food fortification, leveraging its natural origin and proven bioactivity.

Why Choose Our NAG? 
  • Ultra-High Purity: 99.5%+ HPLC-verified NAG (vs. industry avg. 98-99%), with heavy metals <0.05ppm (Pb/As) and microbes <100 CFU/g.

  • Gentle Extraction: 45°C enzymatic hydrolysis preserves amino sugar structure (retains 95% original activity), no harsh chemicals.

  • Dual-Grade Versatility: Complies with Cosmetic (ISO 16128)​ and Nutrition (FCC/EU Novel Food)​ grades, reducing sourcing complexity.

  • Sustainable Sourcing: Shandong Yellow Sea aquaculture (bycatch reduction program), 100% traceable from shell to final product.

    • Microbes: Total plate count <100 CFU/g, Yeast/Mold <10 CFU/g

  • Traceability: Batch COA includes shellfish source (farm ID), enzymatic hydrolysis parameters (temp/time), and stability data (accelerated aging 12 months).

  • Regulatory Compliance: EU CosIng listed (entry 34567), US FDA GRAS self-affirmed, China GB 25543 compliant.

Supplier Advantage: 

As a leading bulk N-acetyl glucosamine supplier​, we offer:

  • Custom Specifications: Adjust purity (95%-99.8%), particle size (80-120 mesh), or add carriers (e.g., maltodextrin for easier dosing).

  • OEM/ODM Services: Private label packaging, blend with actives (e.g., NAG + hyaluronic acid for hydration synergy).

  • Stable Supply Chain: Seasonal shellfish harvest (May-Oct), 3-5 days lead time (in stock), IATA-compliant shipping from Qingdao Port.
