NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine)
120 Vegetarian Capsules | 600mg
Support your respiratory, liver, and fertility health with NAC - an amino acid with powerful antioxidant and mucolytic properties.
Supports Your Organs and Tissues:
NAC is the precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps to scavenge free radicals which cause damage to cells. NAC can help to keep our bodies functioning properly by protecting our organs at a cellular level from chemical stressors.
Safe and Supportive:
NAC is a naturally occurring antioxidant within the human body and supplementing with it at our recommended dose is a safe way to support organ and tissue health during almost any time of life, including pregnancy.
Supports Full-Term Gestation:
Clinical trials have demonstrated that, due to its powerful antioxidant effects, NAC supplementation can support full-term gestation in certain women, thereby supporting a healthy, natural pregnancy for mother and baby.
Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule, 1-2 times daily, between meals, or as directed by a physician.
NAC Smell Disclaimer: Please note that high-quality NAC naturally has a sulfurous smell and that this does not indicate spoilage or contamination.
Caution:
Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant and nursing mothers, children under the age of 18, and individuals with a known medical condition or taking prescription medication should consult a physician before taking this or any dietary supplement.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine) is an amino acid that is naturally present in the human body. NAC acts as a precursor for glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps to rid the body of free radicals and support overall organ and tissue health. (Please note that our NAC is high-quality and therefore has a pungent, sulphury smell; this is a sign of quality and not a reason for concern.)
