This powerful antioxidant helps to detoxify the body while supporting liver, lung and eye health.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a dietary supplement derived from L-cysteine, a naturally-occurring amino acid found in high-protein foods such as beef, chicken, turkey, eggs, whole grains, and legumes.
NAC is a powerful antioxidant that is essential for the body to mount a defense against free radicals that can damage cells and tissues. Plus, age-related decline in antioxidant levels has been linked to the aging process.
NAC also functions as a precursor for glutathione, the body's most important antioxidant. NAC helps optimize glutathione production in the liver as it supports liver health.
Each tablet provides 300 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine, with added turmeric rhizome for extra nutritional and antioxidant benefits.
NAC
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is well-known for it's liver-protecting properties. NAC is widely used to help detoxify the body of chemicals, pollutants, heavy metals, and other harmful toxins. NAC optimizes the liver's production of glutathione, known as the "master antioxidant". Glutathione is essential for liver health, immune function, and detoxification processes. NAC also promotes a healthy inflammatory response and may support insulin sensitivity and healthy blood sugar regulation. In addition, NAC supports respiratory health. NAC contains sulfur groups that provide antioxidant and mucus-thinning properties. Research suggests that NAC can support lung health by helping to thin and expel excess mucus and improve airflow in the lungs. Recent studies also suggest that NAC's powerful antioxidant properties may support eye health. Plus, NAC appears to modulate brain neurotransmitters and may have a positive affect mood and behavior.
Turmeric
Turmeric is used in Indian and Chinese medicine and is a major component of curry powder. Turmeric is rich in powerful antioxidants known as curcuminoids. Most of turmeric's healing properties have been attributed to curcumin, the primary active ingredient. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that supports a healthy inflammatory response. Curcumin also supports natural muscle repair processes. It has been shown to help reduce exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness/swelling, leading to faster recovery times for fitness enthusiasts at all levels. Curcumin also promotes cardiovascular function and gut health, fortifies immune system defenses, aids brain function, and supports healthy joints. Plus, curcumin's antioxidant and inflammatory response effects may help protect the eyes, particularly the retina, from cellular damage that contributes to vision problems.
