N-Acetyl Glucosamine Powder (50 gm) Improves Skin Tone

N-Acetyl Glucosamine Powder is a synthetic substance, NOT SUITABLE FOR HUMAN INTERNAL CONSUMPTION. N-acetyl glucosamine is considered to be a “skin identical ingredient”, meaning it’s found in our skin in the spaces between the cells, and it is used to maintain skin’s barrier abilities and reduce dryness. Studies have shown that NAG can increase collagen production, increase moisture content of the skin, increase elasticity of the skin, increase exfoliation, and increase the speed of wound healing.NAG has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation and can be combined with niacinamide to further increase its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation. N-Acetyl Glucosamine is an amino sugar that has skin exfoliating properties similar to alpha and beta hydroxyl acids without the irritation. NAG can normalize the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, so it can be a good replacement for acid based exfoliation ingredients that might annoy sensitive or rosacea prone skin.

Would have liked to have seen a full label of authenticity.

I read about this supplement for digestive help, and it seemed to calm my stomach. I used the entire packet over time. However, when I thought about re-ordering, I suddenly remembered that I should know if it was natural or synthetic. When I could not locate this information online, I emailed the manufacturer directly. I did not receive a response. So, I will take the lack of response to mean it is manufactured in a lab using synthetic ingredients, which I do not wish to put in my body during this time of my health crisis. If anyone knows anything different, please do tell. I would like a natural alternative, if that's possible

Absolutely ridiculous! Bag was open and only filled to where my thumb is. So gross.
