NAC 600 mg, 60 capsules

NAC: Comprehensive support for detoxification and vitality

Discover the power of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a form of the semi-essential amino acid L-cysteine that has been recognized in medicine for decades. Scientific research confirms its efficacy and safety as a support in the treatment of many conditions, both acute and chronic. Although the body can make a certain amount of NAC from other amino acids, supplementation with higher doses can provide significant health-promoting benefits.

What are the benefits of NAC supplementation?

1. Powerful antioxidant activity and support for glutathione production
NAC is a key precursor to glutathione - one of the most important and powerful antioxidants in the human body. As a result, NAC effectively increases glutathione levels, neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress. It is its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that make it recommended as support for many disorders associated with free radicals, such as liver disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cancer.

2 Fertility and pregnancy support
For women trying to have a baby, especially those with PCOS, NAC can prove to be a valuable support. Studies suggest that NAC, often in combination with vitamin E or vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to improved pregnancy rates. This is because it increases glutathione levels, which positively affects insulin secretion and reduces insulin resistance - a problem often associated with PCOS. NAC also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can improve pregnancy and labor outcomes in women with infections who are prone to premature birth. In addition, it may be helpful in treating acetaminophen overdose during pregnancy.

3 Relief of respiratory problems and mucus thinning
NAC has been valued as an effective mucolytic agent for three decades. It has the ability to reduce the secretion of mucus and phlegm, and relieve coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. It is particularly helpful in treating conditions such as chronic bronchitis, the common cold, and the flu, and can also provide supportive treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema.

4 Liver and kidney protection
NAC plays a key role in the body's detoxification processes, protecting the organs from free radical damage. It is particularly effective in the treatment of acute acetaminophen toxicity and acute liver failure. It works by replenishing glutathione and reducing toxicity, offering hepatoprotective effects related to its antioxidant properties. The best effects in reducing toxicity are observed when NAC is taken within eight to ten hours of an overdose. Patients who take NAC within eight hours usually recover with minimal risk of liver or kidney damage.

Dosage: For most adults, a dose of 2,000 mg of NAC per day is considered safe. For some chronic and degenerative diseases, such as COPD, impaired glucose control or cancer, higher doses may be needed. Studies suggest that doses of about 2,800 mg daily for up to three months may be effective in adults with COPD. In general, doses of 600 mg to 1,800 mg per day, spread over two or three servings per day, appear to be effective for many conditions.
