N-Acetyl Cysteine is formed by binding an acetyl group to cysteine¿s nitrogen atom.

 Antioxidant

• Forms part of a potent antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, allowing for the reduction of reactive oxygen species and peroxide radicals.

• Its antioxidant potential may be supportive in reducing oxidative cell membrane damage.

Anti-viral

• Raised glutathione inhibits spread of viruses.

Cardiovascular Support

• Reduces LDL oxidation and lipoprotein A concentrations, which are both known for their role in cardiovascular disease.

Detoxification

• Cysteine is an amino acid required for glutathione production and is considered to be the most likely to regulate glutathione synthesis, which is important for liver detoxification.

• NAC has been shown in studies to be the most effective method of increasing glutathione levels.

• Research suggests that NAC is one of the most effective methods of elevating glutathione, a compound required for phase II liver detoxification in a process called conjugation.

Excess Metal Removal                                                                          

• Up-regulation of glutathione conjugation allows for the increased chelation of heavy metals, aiding removal from the body.

Respiratory Support

• NAC dissolves mucus improving symptoms of chronic bronchitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis and emphysema.

• Smokers may benefit NAC supplementation due to its antioxidant properties.

May be Supportive for:

• Liver protection and liver disorders

• Detoxification

• Heavy metal poisoning

• Free radical-related disorders in general

• Atherosclerosis

• Cystic fibrosis

• Chronic respiratory congestion

• Viral disorders

• Smokers
