NAC – 60 vcaps

NAC is a highly stable and bioavailable form of the amino acid cysteine. L-cysteine is needed to support the production of glutathione; the body’s ‘master’ antioxidant.

Key benefits of NAC:

NAC is renowned for its ability to replenish levels of glutathione; the body’s ‘master’ antioxidant. Antioxidants help to maintain healthy cells by protecting them against oxidative stress and damage against free radicals

L-cysteine is found in most foods high in protein. However, not consuming sufficient protein, potentially as a result of restrictive diets, may lead to an inability to make enough glutathione

NAC also plays an important role in the body’s detoxification process, supporting the respiratory and circulatory systems, and regulating levels of glutamate; the most important neurotransmitter within the brain

L-cysteine is important for keratin synthesis for healthy skin, hair and nails

Levels of cysteine may become depleted during times of stress, low immunity, or poor protein intake. The requirement for cysteine can therefore increase beyond the body’s ability to synthesise it

The ability to synthesise cysteine and glutathione also decreases with age

L-cysteine is one of the only amino acids to contain sulphur. NAC has a strong sulphur-like odour, which is completely normal

Each capsule comprises 500mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine in an easy-to-swallow, convenient one-a-day capsule
