NAC 500 mg. 100 capsules

N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​(NAC) is a stable form of the amino acid L-cysteine. NAC is an acetyl modified cysteine ​​that stabilizes and increases the bioavailability of many compounds (including aspirin, omega-3 fatty acids, etc.). Cysteine ​​interacts with iron and zinc to regulate processes associated with breathing, energy production, immune response, and regeneration of all tissues in the body.
L-cysteine ​​is a sulfur-containing amino acid that can be produced in the human body by the basic amino acid methionine. However, inadequate amounts of methionine in food, low selenium intake, chronic illnesses and the aging of the body reduce the ability of the body to convert methionine to cysteine. Likewise, stress and the presence of toxins in the environment can increase the need for cysteine ​​and the body is unable to synthesize the amounts needed naturally. The administration of NAC in the form of a nutritional supplement is preferable to that of L-cysteine ​​because of the greater stability and absorption of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​in the human body.

Glutathione: Detoxification and protection
NAC delivers an easily available L-cysteine ​​that acts as an antioxidant and is a precursor to glutathione. The latter is one of the most important and common antioxidants and detoxifiers in the human body. When cysteine ​​is more bioavailable to the body in the form of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​(NAC), the production of glutathione is also increased.
The role of cysteine ​​as an antioxidant is associated with its ability to take and deliver electrons. In this way, it neutralizes uncontrolled free radicals without becoming reactive or toxic. This is also an aspect of its functionality as an integral part of glutathione. For example, to make the superoxide and peroxide compounds in water need to be oxidized by glutathione, then the enzymes in the body reactivate the oxidized glutathione so that it is again ready to neutralize other free radicals.
Glutathione is a very important factor for the second phase of the detoxification process. It binds to lipid-soluble toxins and thus helps to get rid of it from the body. An example of this may be the degradation of paracetamol in which the metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) binds to glutathione. When, however, the antioxidant is missing or depleted by the body, NAPQI damages the liver cells. It is important to note that an increasingly common hospital practice is to give patients NACs to maintain blood glutathione levels.

Support for the liver
Cysteine, alone or as a constituent of glutathione, can neutralize the action of a group of compounds known as aldehydes that occur in nature because of the contaminated air or produced by the metabolism of certain drugs and alcohol in the liver. Thus, N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​supports the body's antioxidant defense against daily attacks.
An aldehyde called acetaldehyde is directly linked to the symptoms of a hangover. In fact, the reduced ability of the body to process it to acetic acid causes the facial flushing and the unpleasant physical symptoms that some people associate with the excessive use of spirits. The sulfhydryl group of NAC directly conjugates acetaldehyde, which contributes to maintaining the levels of glutathione and glutathione enzymes that fall after the intake of alcohol. The direct antioxidant action of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​is expressed in protection against alcohol-induced increases in lipid peroxidation and inflammation directly associated with a hangover and other unpleasant effects of alcohol.
NAC is also used in hospitals as an antidote when taking paracetamol to relieve pain, especially in combination with alcohol or in too high doses. Paracetamol attacks in the United States are a very common phenomenon and one of the main reasons for entering the Centers of Toxicology. The drug can cause severe liver damage, almost the same as caused by the toxic Amanita phalloides sponge. N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​supports the health of liver tissue by supplying the body with glutathione.

Protection for the lungs
NAC also has a beneficial effect on the health of the respiratory system. Reduces the amount of mucus that builds up in the mouth and throat, destroying the sulfur bonds in the proteins that give the sputum viscosity. But perhaps the most important action of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​is that it modulates immune system responses and inflammations that help to protect the lungs from attack by external disease-causing agents.
N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​(NAC) is a powerful antioxidant amino acid and a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione, which is so important for the human body. Glutathione has many properties. It supports the detoxification and intracellular protection against oxidative stress.
