Natural Factors N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a free form amino acid and a vital part of the body’s antioxidant defence system. It is needed for the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant involved in many physiological processes, such as fighting oxidative stress, maintaining a healthy immune system, repairing tissues, cellular detoxification, and supporting overall health. NAC supplementation has been clinically shown to increase the body’s antioxidant capacity and help reduce the severity and frequency of influenza-like symptoms in adults over 65. NAC is also the most stable and readily absorbed form of cysteine.
As a free form amino acid, cysteine is one step closer to producing glutathione than when it is consumed as part of a complete protein from food. Oral supplementation with NAC also increases glutathione levels more effectively than supplementing with glutathione itself. This is because glutathione breaks down in the gastrointestinal tract whereas NAC does not. It passes into the bloodstream intact.
The 600 mg dosage is supported by clinical research, and is the maximum dosage permitted by Health Canada. This is an ideal nutritional supplement for adults who would like to improve their immune system health. NAC is an effective option for anyone with high levels of oxidative stress or depleted glutathione stores.
Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, starch, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn, egg, fish, shellfish, salt, tree nuts, or GMOs
Each vegetarian capsule contains:
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) 600 mg
Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), croscarmellose sodium, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).
Recommended use
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a highly stable form of cysteine and is a precursor in the body to the critical antioxidant glutathione. It provides antioxidant support and helps to reduce the severity and frequency of influenza-like symptoms in adults over 65 years of age and in those suffering from chronic degenerative diseases.
Recommended dose
Recommended adult dose: 1 capsule 2 times daily with meals or as directed by a health care practitioner. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 6 months.
Cautions
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have kidney stones, consult a health care practitioner prior to use. If you are taking antibiotics and/or nitroglycerin, do not use this product. Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Keep out of the reach of children.
