Amino acid precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidantDesigns for Health offers N-acetyl-cysteine in a 900 mg capsule. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is an important amino acid precursor to glutathione (GSH), one of the most powerful intracellular antioxidants in the body, which promotes the optimization of phase II of hepatic biotransformation (liver detoxification). NAC is the most stable form of the amino acid L-cysteine as a nutritional supplement. It plays an essential role in respiration by supporting lung health, is also used to facilitate post-workout muscle recovery and acts as a cytoprotector against a wide range of pro-oxidant manifestations and inflammatory etiopathology. Additionally, due to the presence of a sulfhydryl group (-SH), NAC offers protection against exposure to heavy metals and other harmful substances. NAC is naturally found in Allium plant species, particularly onions, where bioavailability is higher than that of GSH supplementation alone.
