What the brand says
Description:N-acetylcysteine for liver support, detoxification, and immune support.-well recognized for its powerful detoxification capability in the liver.-strong antioxidant activity.-supports good pulmonary health by decreasing the thickness of mucus.-increases glutathione, a primary cellular antioxidant and detoxification factor.N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a sulfur-containing amino acid, is the precursor of the aminoacids L-cysteine and glutathione. Animal and human studies of NAC show it to havepowerful antioxidant activity. In addition to antioxidant activity, NAC is effectivein promoting normal liver detoxification.As a sulfur source, NAC stimulates glutathione (an important antioxidant produced inthe body) synthesis and activity, promotes liver detoxification, and is a powerfulmolecule capable of scavenging free radicals.Research suggests NAC is capable of enhancing immunity. In a double-blind,placebo-controlled trial, NAC was shown to positively impact lymphocyte cell numbers.NAC helps maintain good pulmonary health due to its mucolytic activity. NAC's sulfurcleaves bonds in mucoproteins, causing mucus to be subsequently broken into smaller,less viscous pieces. NAC has been noted to decrease the viscoelasticity of nasal mucusand increase the clearance of mucus by the cilia by thinning of secretions, thus helpingmaintain good pulmonary health.
