AOR NAC - N-acetyl-cysteine - 120 vcaps
| NAC is n-acetylcysteine,
a form of the amino acid cysteine, which is more readily taken
up by the cells. It is a precursor in the body to the cellular
antioxidant glutathione (GSH), which is produced intracellulary,
particularly in the liver. Cells cannot absorb preformed GSH, making
preformed glutathione supplements of minimal effectiveness.
Intracellular levels of reduced glutathione are best maintained with R(+)-lipoic
acid, the natural form of this key antioxidant.
