NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) for Antioxidant Support

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

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, usually shortened to NAC, is a stable form of the amino acid cysteine. The body uses cysteine to make glutathione, its own main antioxidant.

Rather than acting as an antioxidant itself, NAC supplies the raw material the body uses to build glutathione. In OxiShield it sits in the cellular function group with alpha lipoic acid.

NAC is also used in women's health formulas for its role in insulin sensitivity and oxidative balance. That is why it appears in HerBalance alongside myo-inositol at the same 200 mg.

One serving of OxiShield (2 capsules) gives 200 mg of NAC. One serving of HerBalance (2 capsules) gives the same 200 mg.

OxiShield and HerBalance: one capsule after each of two meals, usually after breakfast and after lunch.

Do not take both together without speaking to your doctor, as the NAC would double. Give it at least 3 months of daily use.

Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis, a lab report confirming what is inside. The finished product is also tested at a NABL-accredited lab for heavy metals and microbes. See the current batch report on the OxiShield page.

Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, take regular medication, or have asthma or a bleeding disorder. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Stop use and seek advice if any reaction occurs.
