Quick takeaways
Psoriasis is associated with gut problems like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) has shown potential in improving psoriasis symptoms by controlling cell growth and stimulating the buildup of the GAG lining in the colon.
Deep dives
Psoriasis and its association with gut problems and joint problems
Psoriasis is characterized by an accelerated growth rate of certain skin cells, resulting in dry, flaky, and red patches. The condition is also associated with gut problems like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as joint problems. As an autoimmune disease, psoriasis is believed to originate in the gut, making the association with gut problems significant.
The role of GAG structure and N-acetyl glucosamine in psoriasis
Psoriasis involves abnormalities in the GAG structure, a combination of amino acids and sugars present in the skin. Higher levels of GAGs in urine and the presence of antibodies suggest breakdown of this structure in psoriasis. N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) acts as a precursor to the GAG structure and has shown potential in improving psoriasis symptoms. NAG can control the growth of rapidly dividing cells, stimulate the buildup of the GAG lining in the colon, and have an immunosuppressive effect to calm down the autoimmune reaction. Taking a dosage of 1000 to 2000 milligrams or more of NAG over time may be beneficial for individuals with psoriasis.
