N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine or NAC is an acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine. Cysteine is the primary precursor to glutathione (GSH), the most important antioxidant produced by the body. Glutathione helps chelate toxins and heavy metals from the body. NAC is approved as a medication in some European countries for the prevention of liver damage caused by acetaminophen overdose. It has been used for over 30 years for respiratory health, providing relief to people suffering from chronic respiratory conditions such as runny nose, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, congenital cystic fibrosis, and even life-threatening diseases like COPD. NAC also promotes cardiovascular health due to its ability to reduce levels of a specific lipoprotein called Lp(a), which is a marker of heart disease.
Acetylated cysteine is better absorbed than regular cysteine. AOR's NAC is an excellent choice for individuals looking for a unique supplement to support overall health, including cell protection and cardiovascular health. People with chronic respiratory conditions may also benefit from regular use of NAC.
As a precursor to glutathione, which is an important antioxidant, AOR's NAC offers this element at an effective dose for a wide range of health benefits.
