Detailed Health Benefits

Replenish glutathione

One of NAC’s most important functions is to help your body replenish its glutathione stores. As one of your body’s most potent antioxidants, glutathione helps eliminate cell-damaging free radicals. Reducing oxidative stress help to lower your risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and infertility. 

Detoxification of the Liver and Kidneys 

NAC plays a role in the detoxification of your kidneys and liver. It can help to prevent potential side effects of drug and environmental factors – such as exposure to heavy metals – that may impact these organs. In instances of acetaminophen overdose, doctors often give NAC intravenously to reduce damage to the liver and kidneys. 

Improved Symptoms of Respiratory Issues 

NAC supplements help with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (COPD) by improving symptoms and managing lung decline. It also helps to decrease the severity of wheezing and coughing in people with bronchitis. Improve symptoms of chronic lung conditions, such as bronchitis or cystic fibrosis.

Improved Immune Health 

Current research suggests that NAC and glutathione may help to improve your immune function. Most studies focus on NAC and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Some research shows that the supplement may help to suppress HIV-1 reproduction. Test-tube studies also show that NAC may help to prevent the flu virus from replicating, possibly reducing its lifespan and symptoms. 

Insulin Resistance in people with PCOS 

Research suggests that NAC may help to improve insulin resistance, thereby helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal condition that can affect women of childbearing age. It can lead to insulin resistance and a decrease in blood sugar.

Healthy Brain Function 

NAC helps to replenish glutathione levels in the body. It also aids in regulating glutamate. These functions may help improve brain health and benefit people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Mental Health Management 

NAC may help with psychiatric disorders and addictive behaviours. NAC can help improve depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder & schizophrenia symptoms.

Addiction & Withdrawal 

NAC may help decrease withdrawal symptoms and lower the risk of relapse in people with addiction. Nac may also help with nicotine dependence, gambling addiction, pathological nail biting or skin picking, alcohol use disorders, and addictions.

Reduction of Heart attack risk

Combining NAC and green tea may help reduce damage caused by oxidized LDL-cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease. NAC also helps boost nitric oxide production, improving your blood flow and lowering your heart attack risk.

Improvement of infertility 

NAC may help to improve fertility in both men and women. One study found that men supplementing with NAC and selenium experienced increased semen quality. NAC may also help to improve fertility in women with PCOS.
