N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an amino acid that plays an important role in the production of glutathione: a powerful, anti-inflammatory antioxidant that is produced in our cells. NAC helps to replenish glutathione and has a far-reaching impact on many systems of the body, including liver, lung, immune and kidney function.
NAC acts as a potent antioxidant and promotes healthy immunity because it helps to protect our body from environmental toxins, oxidative stress and free-radical damage. It also supports the ability to clear heavy metals, and the detoxification processes of the liver and kidneys.
