The Role of NAC in Detoxification Pathways

Designs for Health

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, is a critical precursor to glutathione (GSH). NAC helps support antioxidative status in the body by helping to promote GSH levels and inactivate reactive oxygen species. In addition to its role as a GSH precursor, NAC may help protect against mitochondrial dysfunction.
