N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a naturally-occurring derivative of the amino acid cysteine. NAC is produced in the body and is found in foods.
The body converts some of its cysteine into an important antioxidant called glutathione. This conversion is done in several steps, and NAC is one of the intermediates. Taken orally as a supplement, NAC raises glutathione levels in the liver, blood, and lungs.
Glutathione deficiencies aggravate a number of conditions, including adult respiratory distress syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and AIDS. Glutathione detoxifies heavy metals (such as lead and mercury), protects cell membranes, and can break up mucoproteins in the lungs, alleviating problems such as smokers’ cough and bronchitis.
