N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) is a stable, bioavailable acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine and a direct precursor to glutathione — the body’s most powerful endogenous antioxidant. NAC replenishes intracellular glutathione levels, supports liver detoxification, and acts as a mucolytic agent by breaking down mucus disulfide bonds in respiratory formulations.
Applications:
- Liver protection and detoxification supplements
- Respiratory health formulations (mucolytic, bronchitis, COPD)
- Antioxidant and anti-ageing supplements
- Addiction recovery and mental health nutraceuticals
Key Features & Benefits:
- Direct glutathione precursor — the master antioxidant
- Clinically validated mucolytic for respiratory health
- Supports liver detoxification pathways
- No animal substance – suitable for halal formulations
- Stable acetylated form with superior bioavailability vs plain cysteine
