What Is N-Acetyl Cysteine?

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is derived from the amino acid Cysteine which is a combination of amino acids serine and methionine. If your body is low on any of these two amino acids, it will face difficulty in making Cysteine. This is where NAC comes in as a supplement of cysteine, enabling your body to make this vital amino acid.

N-ACETYL CYSTEINE QUICK FACTS & BENEFITS

  • NAC amino acid helps the body make more glutathione, an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress that can damage the body’s cells. The human body naturally produces glutathione in the liver. However, with age, this production decreases. NAC replenishes the body’s level of glutathione which has further benefits.
  • N-acetyl cysteine powder may reduce the inflammation in your airways, helping improve lung function. For this reason, it’s commonly used in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other respiratory issues.

  • Glutathione also helps control glutamate, a neurotransmitter that reduces inflammation and oxidative damage. This in turn protects the brain cells and boosts brain health.

  • NAC may also help promote mental health. Studies have shown that the supplement may change the brain and nervous system to lessen symptoms associated with mental health conditions like Major depressive disorder, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more.

  • NAC also supports kidney and liver function, majorly by producing glutathione which plays a key role in detoxification.
