NAC (1,000 mg)

N-Acetylcysteine, or NAC, is the supplement form of the amino acid Cysteine — amino acids form the building blocks of proteins in the body. Cysteine is the most important amino acid that produces glutathione, the body’s strongest antioxidant, which plays a crucial role in supporting healthy immune function. 
 
NAC can directly fight free radicals, acting as a powerful antioxidant. Its antioxidant effects protect DNA, cells, tissues, and organs from damage, inflammation, and harmful substances.  
 
Use of NAC can include:
 
Glutathione Production 
As mentioned, NAC helps your body create glutathione — the body’s antioxidant powerhouse. Antioxidants protect our cells from free radical damage. 
 
Prevention of Oxidative Damage and Inflammation
Since NAC is important for the production of glutathione, it is also important in helping to prevent oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between harmful free radicals and helpful antioxidants in the body. Oxidative stress can damage cells and is increased in many chronic diseases, malnutrition, and toxin exposure. NAC can replenish glutathione, protecting cells and organs that are under oxidative attack.
 
Improve Symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS symptoms can include irregular cycles, weight gain, hair loss on the scalp, unwanted hair growth, and infertility. Studies have shown that NAC led to improvements in women with PCOS.
 
Cold and Flu Protection
Studies show that NAC inhibits virus replication of influenza and viral illnesses. Antioxidants like NAC offer a potential treatment option for the prevention of the cold and influenza.
 
Counteracting Acetaminophen Poisoning 
NAC restores normal liver levels of glutathione and helps to heal the liver damage caused by acetaminophen.
 
Mood, Behavior and Addiction Therapy 
Research has shown that NAC has the potential to help with the treatment of psychiatric and addictive disorders. 
 
Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior 
Studies show benefits of using NAC in moderate to severe OCD.
