N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine,
known as "NAC" provides powerful immune support and also packs a
powerful anti-toxin potential. Its ability to neutralize cell and DNA
damaging free radicals can help slow down what many scientists point to
as a key factor in the aging process.
N-ACETYL L-CYSTEINE (NAC)
or NAC is a more stable form of L-Cysteine because it has an acetyl
group (CH3CO) attached. NAC has all the properties of L-Cysteine but is
more water soluble and said to be more bioavailable than L-Cysteine.
NAC may be the most cost effective way to boost Glutathione levels in
the body. Glutathione is a very valuable peptide, but very expensive
when bought as a supplement. It is best to use NAC to boost your
glutathione levels.
NAC has been shown to play a protective role
against a variety of toxic hazards such as cigarette smoke, auto
exhaust, certain herbicides, and overdoses of acetaminophen. It can
also play a beneficial role in prostate and respiratory conditions. For
example, NAC has a well established antimucolytic (anti-mucous)
properties and has been shown to increase mucocilary transport in
smokers.
As a beneficial glutathione booster,
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is the supplement of choice. Surprisingly, it is
more effective than supplementing with cysteine, methionine, or even
glutathione itself! No doubt NAC is the undisputed glutathione
precursor.
What makes NAC stand out in the crowd of glutathione
boosters is the fact that it is a stable amino acid that can retain up
to six times the amount of the sulfur and sulfhydryl groups after
digestion. Scientists believe that sulfur and sulfur compounds may be
central to glutathione and its precursor N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC).
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, 2 capsules daily with meals.
