N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a sulfur-containing amino acid that facilitates the production of glutathione. NAC is a powerful antioxidant that promotes healthy immune function and helps protect the body from toxic insults and oxidative stress.
Benefits of NAC:
- Promotes the thinning of mucus in the lungs, making it easier to clear
- Promotes optimal immune function
- Supports liver and kidney detoxification and aids in the clearance of heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium
- Protects the liver and kidneys from toxic insults
- Acts as a potent antioxidant
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, NAC positively impacted lymphocyte cell numbers, white cells that are crucial to normal immune function.
