Protection against oxidation
Supports the production of glutathione, the main enzyme of antioxidant protection of all cells of the body.
-
Clean lungs
Improves sputum discharge, supports normal respiratory function, as well as bronchial health, accelerates recovery.
-
Healthy liver
Support for normal liver function and detoxification processes.
Antioxidant key to health
Modern nutrition support schemes pay more and more attention to liver support and respiratory system protection. The fact is that our main detoxification organ - the liver - is forced to "pass" countless toxins and xenobiotics through itself every day, which are full of everyday life of citizens and which enter our body through food, water and air. Citizens also suffer from viral and bacterial infections that affect the respiratory system.
The powerful antioxidant NAC helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, and also improves the formation and discharge of sputum, protecting the upper respiratory tract.

Protection of cells from oxidative processes
Acting as a substrate, acetylcysteine promotes the synthesis of glutathione from amino acids and thus increases its reserves in the body. In addition, along with glutathione, acetylcysteine binds directly to toxic metabolites to neutralize them and promote detoxification of the body.
Glutathione (GSH) isolates the reactive forms of oxygen and nitrogen in a process that converts glutathione (into glutathione disulfide; GSSG), then glutathione disulfide is reduced to glutathione using glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymes. The antioxidant cycle is repeated until glutathione is disintegrated by gamma-glutamyltransferase into free glutamates and glycine-cysteine dipeptide. As a result, free amino acids can be used to restore glutathione - first with glutamatic cysteine ligase (to create a dipeptide again), and then with the synthesis of glutathione (to create glutathione itself).

Bronchial cleaning
NAC has a very powerful and fast-acting mucolytic effect. Thanks to free sulfhydryl groups, acetylcysteine can break down disulfide bonds in glycoprotein mucus with the simultaneous formation of hydrophilic complexes, which leads to liquefacation of the formation and a decrease in the viscosity of mucus in bronchial secretion.

Mental health support
NAC can be useful in the treatment of mental disorders such as depression, schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) due to its impact on glutamate levels and antioxidant activity.
In addition, acetylcysteine is useful as an adjunct for moderate traumatic brain injuries, in particular, in reducing the loss of neurons.
NAC is also an excellent detoxifying agent for restoring the body after general anesthesia, in preparation for surgery, childbirth.
N-acetyl-L-cysteine
Derivative of the N-acetyl natural amino acid L-cysteine. Supports the production of glutathione, the main enzyme of the body's antioxidant defense system, which protects all cells of the body from oxidative processes. It is a mucolytic that improves the discharge of sputum.
