NAC

NAC - 600 mgNAC (N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine) is a derivative of the dietary amino acid l-cysteine. NAC supports tissue levels of glutathione, a key component of the antioxidant defense system, and is a powerful free radical scavenger. It also has been shown to have the ability to help chelate heavy metals.Qty:60DESCRIPTIONNAC is a biologically active precursor for the amino acid cysteine which, in turn, is a precursor for glutathione, a tripeptide with antioxidant properties. FUNCTIONSBody cells and tissues are threatened continuously by damage caused by toxic free radicals and reactive oxygen species (e.g., peroxides) which are produced during normal oxygen metabolism, by other chemical reactions, and by toxic agents in the environment. Free radicals, once formed, are capable of disrupting metabolic activity and cell structure. When this occurs, additional free radicals are produced which, in turn, can result in more extensive damage to cells and tissues. The uncontrolled production of free
