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.
Fights inflammation and oxidative stress
NAC is the precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, which helps to scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that causes cell damage. It reduces oxidative stress and inflammation - especially beneficial if you have PCOS.*
Improves insulin sensitivity
Insulin resistance is linked to the cardiometabolic and reproductive disorders in PCOS. NAC has insulin-sensitizing properties which improves your body’s insulin receptor activity, helping you lower insulin levels to keep PCOS symptoms at bay.
Supports and boosts fertility
Because of its potent antioxidant and insulin-sensitizing effects, NAC can help prevent endothelial damage, improve ovulation, and regulate menstrual cycles to support your overall reproductive health. NAC also has potential to improve pregnancy and live birth rates in women with PCOS.
Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule, 1-2 times daily, between meals, or as directed by a physician.
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.
