Amino Acid

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

A precursor to glutathione that supports liver detoxification, respiratory health, and cellular repair.

What It Is

NAC is a modified form of the amino acid cysteine and the most efficient precursor to glutathione synthesis. It directly replenishes intracellular cysteine, driving the liver's primary detoxification pathway. NAC also has potent mucolytic (mucus-thinning) properties and is used medically as an antidote in paracetamol overdose, illustrating its powerful hepatoprotective action.

What It Does

  • Boosts glutathione production
  • Supports liver detoxification
  • Reduces mucus congestion
  • Protects against oxidative stress
  • Supports mental health (emerging research)

Clinical Considerations

Can cause nausea if infused too rapidly. May interact with nitroglycerin medications. A clinical consultation is required.
