NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) is a powerful amino acid derivative of L-cysteine that serves as a precursor to glutathione, your body's master antioxidant. Glutathione plays a critical role in neutralizing free radicals, supporting detoxification pathways, and maintaining cellular health. NAC helps replenish glutathione levels, which can become depleted due to stress, environmental toxins, aging, and illness. By supporting glutathione production, NAC provides comprehensive antioxidant protection throughout the body.

Our NAC Plus formula goes beyond basic NAC supplementation by including our proprietary NAC Excel Blend™ (288mg). This synergistic blend combines organic turmeric, organic milk thistle, and green tea extract to complement NAC's benefits. Turmeric provides additional antioxidant support, milk thistle enhances liver detoxification, and green tea extract contributes polyphenols that support cellular health. This comprehensive approach makes our formula more effective than NAC alone.

NAC has well-documented benefits for respiratory wellness. It acts as a mucolytic, helping to break down and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to clear airways. Additionally, NAC's powerful antioxidant properties help protect delicate lung tissue from oxidative damage caused by environmental pollutants, allergens, and pathogens. Many people find NAC particularly beneficial during seasonal challenges or when exposed to poor air quality.

Yes, NAC plays several important roles in immune function. It helps maintain healthy levels of glutathione, which is essential for optimal immune cell function. NAC also supports the body's natural defense mechanisms against oxidative stress, which can compromise immune response. The additional ingredients in our NAC Excel Blend™, particularly turmeric and green tea extract, provide complementary immune support through their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) contains silymarin, a compound known for its liver-protective properties. It works synergistically with NAC to support the body's detoxification pathways and liver function. While NAC helps boost glutathione production, milk thistle helps preserve existing glutathione levels and supports liver cell regeneration. This combination provides comprehensive support for one of your body's primary detoxification organs.

Our NAC Plus is designed to accommodate most dietary needs. It's non-GMO and features organic ingredients including turmeric, milk thistle, and green tea extract. The plant-source capsules are made from cellulose, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This product does not use gluten-containing ingredients, but it is not certified gluten-free. The product is manufactured at an NSF-certified facility (NSF/ANSI 455), ensuring the highest standards of quality and purity.

The timeline for experiencing benefits varies by individual and depends on your specific health needs. Some people notice improvements in respiratory function and mucus clearance within days. Antioxidant benefits and immune support typically develop over 2-4 weeks of consistent use. For detoxification support and long-term cellular health benefits, consistent supplementation over 1-3 months provides optimal results.

NAC may interact with certain medications, including some antibiotics, antihypertensives, and chemotherapy drugs. The other herbs in our formula, particularly milk thistle, may also affect medication metabolism in the liver. If you're taking prescription medications, especially for chronic conditions, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting NAC Plus. This is especially important if you're taking medications for blood thinning, diabetes, or heart conditions.

Our recommended dosage is one capsule taken twice daily, providing a total of 600mg of NAC per day. This dosage has been carefully selected based on clinical research showing efficacy for antioxidant support, respiratory health, and immune function. Some healthcare practitioners may recommend different dosing schedules based on individual needs, which is why we suggest consulting with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Glutathione is often called the body's master antioxidant because it neutralizes free radicals, regenerates other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, supports detoxification, and maintains cellular health. However, glutathione supplements are poorly absorbed orally. NAC effectively bypasses this limitation by providing the rate-limiting precursor (cysteine) needed for your body to produce its own glutathione internally. This makes NAC one of the most effective ways to boost glutathione levels and support overall health and longevity.
