Boost
glutathione levels and enhance antioxidant
protection
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine
(NAC) is a more stable form of the
conditionally-essential amino acid L-cysteine.
The body uses l-cysteine to produce glutathione
(GSH), an important polypeptide produced by the
body to fight free radicals. Glutathione is
considered to be one of the body's most
important endogenous antioxidants.
Glutathione levels in
the blood and tissue tend to decrease with age,
as demonstrated in a study reported in the Journal
of Laboratory Clinical Medicine. This study
examined males and females between the ages of
20 and 94 and found an increased incidence of
low blood glutathione levels in elderly
subjects. In addition, a study reported in the British
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology found, in a
community-based study of the elderly, that
higher glutathione levels were related to higher
levels of physical health in the subjects.
As the body ages, its
ability to digest and absorb protein can become
compromised, so NAC may have important benefits
for the elderly. NAC also helps maintain
glutathione and related antioxidant levels that
can be diminished by stress or exercise.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine
supports:
- GSH and
GSH-related
antioxidant levels
- Reduced cholesterol
oxidation at 1200 mg daily
- A stable form of
