Summary
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a form of the amino acid cysteine and a precursor to glutathione, one of the body’s key antioxidants. Glutathione plays an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting natural detoxification pathways.
NAC is commonly used to support respiratory health by helping to maintain normal mucus consistency and promote airway comfort. It is also studied for its role in supporting cardiovascular health and overall cellular function.
