Why it’s good for you

  • Antioxidant Powerhouse

    NAC is a precursor to glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants. By increasing glutathione levels, NAC helps protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. This can slow the aging process and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

  • Liver Detoxification

    NAC plays a critical role in liver health by aiding in the detoxification of harmful substances. It helps the liver neutralize toxins and heavy metals, which is essential for overall health and wellness. NAC is often used to support liver function in individuals exposed to environmental pollutants and toxins.

  • Respiratory Health

    NAC is known for its mucolytic properties, meaning it can thin and loosen mucus in the airways. This makes it beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, and COPD. By reducing mucus build-up, NAC promotes easier breathing and healthier lung function.
