N•A•C is n-acetylcysteine, a form of the amino acid cysteine, which is more readily taken up by the cells. It is a precursor in the body to the cellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH), which is produced intracellulary, particularly in the liver. Cells cannot absorb preformed GSH, making preformed glutathione supplements of minimal effectiveness. Intracellular levels of reduced glutathione are best maintained with R(+)-lipoic acid, the natural form of this key antioxidant.
Main Applications
• Antioxidant. • Precursor to glutathione. • Less prone to auto-oxidation than cysteine and more intracellularly active. • Anti-mucus in the lungs. • Acetaminophen overdose. • Immune responses. • AIDS complications. • Anti-HIV activity in-vitro. • Cell-protective effect when dapsone (which is cytotoxic) is used to treat Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in AIDS. • Liver detoxification. Suggested Use: Take one to four capsules per day.
