Antioxidant Benefits of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine

N-acetyl-l-cysteine, or NAC, is the form of cysteine the body uses to make glutathione. It is traditionally used to support the liver and the body's antioxidant defences. NAC is in OxiShield and HerBalance.

Uses and Benefits

NAC may help regulate hormonal imbalances by improving insulin sensitivity, which is often beneficial for women with PCOS. It helps reduce androgen levels, supporting hormonal balance and alleviating symptoms of PCOS.

As a powerful antioxidant precursor, NAC boosts glutathione production, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which supports overall hormone health and cellular function.

As a powerful antioxidant precursor, NAC boosts glutathione production, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which supports overall hormone health and cellular function.

NAC enhances insulin sensitivity, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and is beneficial for women with insulin-resistant PCOS, aiding in weight management and reducing symptoms.

NAC may improve ovulation and reproductive health in women with PCOS by reducing oxidative stress and supporting hormone balance, making it a potential aid for fertility.

By increasing glutathione levels, NAC aids in detoxification processes, which supports liver health, removes toxins, and helps maintain balanced hormone levels.

NAC’s role in neurotransmitter regulation and reducing oxidative stress can support mood stability, reducing anxiety and stress, which are often heightened in women with hormonal imbalances.

NAC helps reduce inflammation throughout the body, which can alleviate symptoms of PCOS and support overall hormone balance.

By supporting cellular health and reducing inflammation, NAC strengthens immune function, which indirectly benefits hormone health by reducing systemic stress on the body.
