Summary
N-acetyl-L-Cysteine (N-A-C) is an acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine. Cysteine is the primary precursor to glutathione (GSH), the most significant antioxidant produced by the body. Glutathione helps chelate toxins and heavy metals from the body. N-A-C is approved as a drug in some European countries for preventing liver damage caused by acetaminophen overdose. It has been used for over 30 years for respiratory health, providing relief to people suffering from chronic respiratory conditions like nasal discharge, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, congenital cystic fibrosis, and even potentially fatal diseases like COPD. N-A-C also promotes cardiovascular health due to its ability to reduce levels of a specific lipoprotein called Lp (a), which is a marker of heart disease. Acetylated cysteine is better absorbed than ordinary cysteine. AOR's N-A-C is an excellent choice for individuals looking for a unique supplement to promote overall health, especially in protecting cells and preserving cardiovascular health. People with chronic respiratory diseases can also benefit from regular use of N-A-C.
