N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) by SciFit is the N-acetyl derivative of the protein amino acid L-cysteine. NAC is used as a nutritional supplement or as the drug paracetamol in Europe. It can be used for the treatment for acetaminophen overdose and respiratory disorders. NAC is a reducing agent, a mucolytic (breaks down mucous), hepaprotectant, and has antioxidant and antiapoptic activities.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a direct precursor to the powerful free radical scavenger Glutathione. Glutathione is present in every living cell in the body. Blood levels of Glutathione are diminished during and following any anaerobic event i.e. intense exercise.
