Description

NAC is a source of the conditionally essential amino acid L-cysteine and a precursor to the tripeptide glutathione, an essential intracellular antioxidant. Therefore, it supports antioxidant and cellular detoxification pathways in the body.

NAC is one of the few antioxidants found to raise glutathione levels. Glutathione is an important antioxidant used in many different metabolic processes within the body. Maintaining adequate levels is important to maintaining the health of the respiratory, hepatic and immune systems. It is also important in supporting the antioxidant protection of lipids and proteins and the normal response to inflammation. Glutathione is not well absorbed by the body when taken orally, so it can be difficult to sustain adequate glutathione levels. NAC has been shown to increase glutathione levels significantly. NAC is also capable of reducing the viscosity of mucous

Recommendations

Studies show that NAC supports normal mucous production and may positively support pulmonary and respiratory function, especially when consumed over a prolonged period. A clinical trial of 100 smokers found NAC significantly improved measures of pulmonary health, and high-dose NAC taken over a one-year period resulted in significantly improved small airway clarity and decreased frequency of respiratory challenges. A systematic review found NAC to be effective in supporting children’s pulmonary health as well. NAC was also shown to support pulmonary health after inhalation of mustard gas.
