NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine), 120 Tablets

Description

An antioxidant closely related to L-cysteine, being its acetyl derivative. Cysteine is important for homeostasis, being a key antioxidant, a glutathione precursor, and a natural source of sulfur for metabolism. Yet L-cysteine is unstable, and can become degraded while being absorbed. N-Acetyl Cysteine, on the other hand, is more stable than L-cysteine and conveniently becomes converted into L-cysteine after being absorbed. Thus NAC taken orally will raise blood and tissue cysteine levels. As a dietary supplement, NAC is therefore a highly attractive alternative to L-cysteine. NAC can also be used in place of L-cysteine as an adjunct to the original AntiOx. Hypoallergenic.

Special Info

NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine) is an antioxidant that helps increase glutathione synthesis, and potentially has benefit during oxidative stress.* NAC is the acetyl derivative of L-cysteine. While L-cysteine plays important metabolic roles as a key antioxidant, a glutathione precursor, and a natural source of sulfur for metabolism, it is unstable and can become degraded during absorption. NAC on the other hand, is more stable than L-cysteine. Taken orally, NAC converts into L-cysteine after being absorbed, and raises blood and tissue cysteine levels. As a dietary supplement, NAC is a highly attractive alternative to L-cysteine. NAC can also be used instead of L-cysteine as an adjunct to Item no. 70130 Original AntiOx. Free form amino acid, high purity, well tolerated, and in tablet form to insure potency.
