SOLUTION: This food composition contains one or more kinds of amino sugars (derivatives), such as glucosamine or galctosamine, prepared from either of an animal, a plant, microorganism cells or their cultured solution, preferably in an amount of 0.001-99.99% (based on the weight of the beauty food). The ester or ether of the glucosamine or galactosamine is preferable N- acetylglucosamine, Nacetylgalactosamine or the sulfonation product or sulfonation product salt of glucosamine. |
