Health Benefits at a Glance:

N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a powerful nutrient which can support such vital functions such as your respiration (breathing function), liver, and immune function. It also provides antioxidant support and helps scavenge the body for free radicals and other compounds which are not native to the human body.

Why it Works:

Normal liver, immune and breathing function are all essential to your well-being. Without a good breathing function, your body will not get the oxygen it requires to function normally. N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a highly bioavailable nutrient that supports respiratory health, as well as the liver and immune function.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine is an easily-absorbed nutrient with has potent benefits for whole body health [1]. This compound is also the chemical precursor to glutathione [2-4]. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant which helps protects cells from damage from free radicals. Furthermore, research has also revealed that besides playing a role against toxins, N-acetylcysteine promotes immune system health [5].

It also defends against insults from foreign compounds at the cellular level and helps protects vulnerable neurons from oxidative stress. Because of its quick absorption rate, N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a potent nutrient in its own right.

The Science Behind the Product:

N-acetylcysteine is derived from the simple amino acid cysteine which can offer significant protection against a broad number of toxins [5]. These include acrolein (found in cigarette smoke and auto exhaust), paraquat (a toxic herbicide). N-acetylcysteine may play a role in protecting lung tissue against common challenges through its antioxidant activity [5].

Moreover, N-acetylcysteine helps the body synthesize glutathione. Glutathione is one of the body’s most important antioxidants because of its location within the cell, which enhances its potential to scavenge free radicals. Boosted glutathione levels have shown particularly positive effects on those people with weak immune systems [5]. And more than 30 placebo-controlled studies on cellular glutathione have shown that N-acetyl-L-cysteine can favourably affect energy production, well-being, and quality of life [5].

How to Use:

• Take one (1) capsule one to three times daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
