Pure NAC is N-acety l-cysteine, which is suitable for all-round health and wellness. An important precursor to the Master Antioxidant Glutathione, NAC is known as a mucolytic and antioxidant.
This precursor to the amino acid cysteine has been studied for its health benefits such as thinning mucous, improving liver function by increasing glutathione levels (a powerful antioxidant that helps detoxify the liver), helping to treat certain mental health conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), addiction, and depression, supporting immune system function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, acting as a precursor to glutathione, which plays a crucial role in protecting cells from damage and supporting overall health.
Pure NAC is suitable for use as an antioxidant that may help to prevent cancer, support liver detoxification, and lungs. Used as a drug to help manage acetaminophen poisoning. Side effects may typically be the same as those of detoxification effects and may include stomach upsets and fatigue. If these effects are too uncomfortable, stop the dose for 1-3 days, and resume at a lower dose when comfortable.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant and precursor to the amino acid cysteine. It has been studied for its potential health benefits, which include:
- Supporting respiratory health by thinning mucus and reducing inflammation in the lungs.
- Improving liver function by increasing glutathione levels, a powerful antioxidant that helps detoxify the liver.
- Helping to treat certain mental health conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), addiction, and depression.
- Supporting immune system function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Acting as a precursor to glutathione, which plays a crucial role in protecting cells from damage and supporting overall health.
Gene Support: Known support for NAT2, SULT2, GSTM1, GSTP1 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and phase 2 liver detoxification.
