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 #50130 Original AntiOx. Free form amino acid, high purity, well tolerated,
and in tablet form to insure potency.
