N-Acetyl-L-cysteine

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an acetylated form of the amino acid L-cysteine. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mucolytic properties.[1] NAC is converted to L-cysteine after ingestion, which, in turn, is converted into glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Free L-cysteine is readily oxidized in solution, encouraging the formation of insoluble precipitates.In contrast, NAC is more stable and has a much lower toxicity than free L-cysteine,making it safer and more effective for increasing cysteine levels in the body.

How does it work?

NAC has cytoprotective effects, which work through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. On the antioxidant side, although the NAC molecule itself has the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), the antioxidant effects of NAC in the body mainly occur through increasing glutathione levels and other indirect mechanisms. The anti-inflammatory effects of NAC are indirect and work through its antioxidant activity, which in turn inhibits the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NFkB.

NAC reduces levels of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress. Because NAC increases glutathione levels in the body, which are rapidly depleted by stress, disease, or drug toxicity, it has applications in clinical settings, in addition to general health and wellness. NAC has been used for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (due to its mucolytic properties), acute acetaminophen toxicity, and chronic obstructive lung disease.

Dosage and Stack

Dosage

NAC has low bioavailability as an oral supplement, meaning your body does not absorb it well. The accepted daily supplement recommendation is 600–1,800 mg of NAC.Application for liver protection supplement.
