N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) 600mg 90 Capsules - £29.99 + FREE Postage

NAC is an amino acid that is required for the manufacturing of glutathione the “master” antioxidant in the body. Known as the mater antioxidant because of its ability to recycle other antioxidants, as well as protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant in the body, and is crucial for neutralising toxins and assisting the liver and kidneys to properly detoxify.

The body produces its own glutathione but levels may be depleted with poor diet, pollution, toxins, stress, infections and with ageing.

Dosage 1-2 capsules per day, or as directed.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.

What are the health benefits of NAC?

Protects the liver and kidneys: Without adequate levels of glutathione available, the liver and kidneys would not be able to properly detoxify the body from harmful substances. Restoring glutathione levels assists the liver cells for protection against damage caused by drugs, alcohol, viral infections and fatty accumulation. 80% of glutathione produced in the liver is transported to the kidneys for detoxification. The need for supplementation is increased in those with a damaged or poor functioning liver as the liver is responsible for producing glutathione.

Neutralises toxins: NAC has strong antioxidant properties, and helps to neutralise toxins in the body and protect against free radical damage. We are constantly exposed to environmental and dietary toxins and pollutants that can damage our cells and organs. NAC helps to neutralise these toxins to prevent them from causing DNA damage.

Supports a healthy respiratory system: NAC helps to relieve 

symptoms by reducing inflammation and acting as a mucolytic. This means that it helps to thin or dissolve unwanted mucous secretions in the body. Breaking down the mucous makes it easier for the mucous to be cleared from the body. This is useful for those who have a respiratory infection such as COVID-19, bronchitis or pneumonia. It may be helpful for those with chronic respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis and allergies. 

Decreases inflammation: Glutathione plays a protective role against inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation in the body can contribute to degenerative disorders, autoimmune conditions, impaired glucose control and organ disease. Supplementing with NAC may help to increase glutathione levels in the body, assisting in decreasing systemic inflammation.

Supports muscle growth: NAC can help to prevent muscle wasting that occurs during ageing, and can also help to support and accelerate muscle growth in those who exercise. When taken prior to exercise, it could also aid in improving performance and endurance and delaying muscle fatigue.
