N-Acetyl Cysteine – Get the NAC

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is the N-acetyl derivative of the protein amino acid L-cysteine. NAC is used as a nutritional supplement or as the drug paracetamol in Europe. NAC is not present in the diet and must be obtained via dietary supplementation.

Along with glutamic acid and glycine, N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a direct precursor to the powerful free radical scavenger glutathione. Glutathione is present in every living cell in the body. Blood levels of glutathione are diminished during and following any anaerobic event i.e. intense exercise.

In addition to protecting the body from oxidative damage resulting from normal metabolism and environmental toxins, NAC has shown positive effects on liver function, protecting the liver from heavy metals like lead and mercury.

Side effects that can occur with NAC use at high doses include nausea, headache, vomiting, dizziness, and abdominal pain.

NAC may lead to the excretion of zinc and copper – metals required for proper hormone function, so be sure to supplement with these minerals if you use NAC.

NAC tolerance is generally excellent in most users and NAC is not known to be contraindicated with any dietary supplements or prescription drug products.
