Product Information
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.
Warning
N-Acetyl Cysteine should be taken as prescribed by your medical practitioner.
