Description

NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) 99% is a natural substance in the human body, derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. It is essential for synthesizing glutathione, which is a tripeptide that consists of the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. Glutathione is present in all our cell tissues where it acts as an effective antioxidant and scavenger of free radicals. As a general antioxidant it may help to protect the body from chronic diseases such as cancer and aging.

People also use NAC as a detoxifying agent for paracetamol and heavy metals, including mercury, cadmium, chromium, and arsenic. Overall, the supplement for a multiple of reasons, as it may revitalize liver and kidney health, promote lung function (mucus-dissolving), maintain blood sugar levels, and support digestion.

Respiration

People commonly use NAC to help manage conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis. NAC’s mucolytic properties can help thin mucus, making it easier to clear the airways.

Heart

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine may help to improve blood vessel function, reduce blood clot formation, and lower blood pressure. These effects contribute to overall heart health and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It may also help to protect heart cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.

Detoxification

It can assist in the regeneration of glutathione, a key antioxidant in the liver, and protect the liver from damage caused by toxins and medications. Importantly, as chelating agent N-acetyl-L-cysteine helps to detoxify the body from heavy metals and other harmful substances.

Antiviral

NAC has demonstrated antiviral properties and may play a role in immune system modulation. Researchers have explored its potential to reduce the severity and duration of respiratory infections, including influenza.

Mental Wellness

Acetylcysteine has also been shown to help support against depression, addictive behavior, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and anxiety. NAC’s ability to modulate glutamate levels in the brain may contribute to its neuroprotective effects.

Fertility

Some studies indicate NAC might improve semen quality by enhancing sperm count, motility, and morphology. Varicocele, another common cause of male infertility, has been explored for its potential to reduce oxidative stress and improve sperm parameters.

It may be beneficial by improving ovulatory function for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a common cause of female infertility.

Skin Health

Due to its antioxidant properties, NAC may contribute to skin health by protecting against oxidative damage caused by UV radiation.
