NAC
NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) is an easily-absorbed nutrient with robust benefits for bronchial, respiratory, liver, and immune health.
What is NAC?
N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a chemical precursor to glutathione, one of the body’s most important antioxidants because it helps protect your cells against free radical damage. Glutathione is particularly important to protect your neurons.
Fortunately, we all naturally produce small amounts of the amino acid cysteine. Upping the intake of protein-rich foods such as eggs, chicken, yogurt, and legumes can help provide the cysteine we need to keep our glutathione levels healthy.
