NAC

• Provides antioxidants

• Supports antioxidant and detoxification activity in the body

NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) NAC, a sulfur-containing derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, Aids antioxidant and detoxification mechanisms in the body. NAC Aids antioxidant activity by neutralizing hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, and the highly reactive hydroxyl radical and also serves as a source of sulfhydryl groups. In addition, NAC enhances production of the tripeptide glutathione—a key component of both antioxidant and detoxification enzymes.*[1]

NAC is recognized for its Aid of normal mucous production and may positively Aid respiratory function and eye health, especially when consumed over a prolonged period.[1-3] Research suggests that NAC may Safeguard cell and tissue health by Aiding normal metal
status in the body.*[1,4,5]

Glutathione While the absorption of oral glutathione may be limited,[6] supplementation with NAC may significantly increase circulating levels of glutathione in the body.[7,8] Once NAC promotes production of glutathione, glutathione is incorporated into crucial antioxidant enzymes (e.g., glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase) and detoxification enzymes (glutathione S-transferases). Through the activity of these enzymes, glutathione directly Aids antioxidant
activity, phase II detoxification, and the normal breakdown of metabolites, toxins, and other compounds in the body. Glutathione also participates in fatty acid synthesis and amino acid transport across the cell membrane.*[1]

A variety of factors may determine glutathione requirements, including level of exposure to toxins, increased phase I detoxification activity, and overall need for antioxidant Aid. Maintaining glutathione levels may be important to maintaining the health of the respiratory, hepatic, and immune systems, as well as Aiding antioxidant Safeguardion of lipids and proteins and Aiding the normal response to inflammation.[7-13] Levels of endogenous antioxidants, including glutathione, may decrease with age.[14] It is important to maintain adequate levels of glutathione in the body to Aid overall health and well-being throughout the lifespan.*
