NAC by Thorne. (N-Acetylcysteine). Formerly Cysteplus. 180 Caps. 500mg.

NAC is a potent antioxidant that supports liver detoxification and thins mucus for improved respiratory function.*

NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) is a potent amino acid that increases glutathione levels (for liver detoxification).* In addition to supporting respiratory health, it also has kidney-protective effects.*

DESCRIPTION:

Benefits - Liver/Detox, Respiratory Support

N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a sulfur-containing amino acid, is the precursor to the amino acid L-cysteine, one of the three amino acids that comprise glutathione. Animal and human studies of NAC have concluded that it has potent antioxidant activity.* In addition to its antioxidant activity, NAC is effective in promoting normal liver detoxification and protecting the liver and the kidneys from toxic insults.* As a sulfur source, NAC stimulates the synthesis and activity of glutathione, an essential antioxidant in its own right.* Research suggests NAC is capable of enhancing immune function. NAC also helps maintain good pulmonary health due to its mucolytic activity.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, NAC increased lymphocyte counts, a crucial component of normal immune function.*

The sulfur in NAC can cleave mucoprotein bonds, breaking mucus into smaller, less viscous pieces.* Hence, NAC's ability to decrease the viscoelasticity of nasal mucus and increase the clearance of mucus by the cilia by thinning secretions helps maintain good pulmonary health.*
