Precursor to Glutathione and Supports Liver Function*

What is N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)?

A cysteine that has been modified with an acetyl group, which stabilizes and  increases the bioavailability of many compounds (e.g., curcumin, EGCG and sulforaphane). This stable and soluble form of cysteine, a thiol containing amino acid, acts as an antioxidant and contributes to the biosynthesis of glutathione, a principal detoxification agent and metal chelator.* Glutathione is a critical detoxification agent, meaning it attaches to lipid-soluble toxins to make them more easily excreted from the body.*

What Are The Benefits of NAC?

  • Makes cysteine more available to the body in the form of NAC and encourages the production of glutathione.*
  • Glutathione is one of the body’s most important and abundant antioxidant and detoxification agents.*
  • Glutathione is essential for the immune system’s proper functioning, is vital in maintaining healthy tissue and supports liver function.*
  • Glutathione is important for detoxification.*
  • The more glutathione in your body generally means healthier cells and mitochondria.*
