What is NAC?Â
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is used to form the powerful antioxidant Glutathione.  For those training hard and consequently causing oxidative stress, raising Glutathione levels helps to reduce this damage.  NAC is also a cell detoxifier, which helps to support liver function.  It can only be obtained via the diet or supplementation and is a more stable form, enabling better absorption, than regular L-Cysteine.Â
Supplementing with regular L-Cysteine is useless; it is used far too rapidly by the body to elicit any positive benefits.  In contrast, N-Acetyl Cysteine is a much more stable form of L-Cysteine and can be used to great effect.  It is a powerful antioxidant but has a variety of other functions ranging from liver support to anti-aging.Â
L-Cysteine is produced naturally in the body.  It is also found in foods such as chicken, oats, egg yolks, broccoli, onion, sprouts, garlic and red peppers.  Remember L-Cysteine is extremely unstable and is therefore practically worthless.  N-Acetyl L-Cysteine can only be obtained through supplementation.Â

Use & Benefits
NAC can be especially beneficial for active people, the elderly, and those exposed to polluted environments.  It also helps reduce oxidative stress during exercise and supports the immune function. NAC is a medication used to treat conditions such as asthma and cystic fibrosis.  As an inhalant, it helps to thin mucus and make it less paste-like.  It also reduces inflammation.Â
NAC is by-product of glutathione.  Glutathione is found in some foods, although cooking and pasteurization diminish its levels significantly.  Its highest concentrations are in: raw or very rare meat, unpasteurized milk and other unpasteurized dairy products, freshly-picked fruits and vegetables, such as avocado, and asparagus.Â
Cell death in the liver may be exacerbated by a deficiency in antioxidants, including glutathione.  This can lead to fatty liver disease in both those who misuse alcohol and those who don’t.  Glutathione has been shown to improve protein, enzyme, and bilirubin levels in the blood of individuals with alcoholic and non-alcoholic chronic fatty liver disease.Â
Combining Ascorbic Acid and Taurine to NAC can also be beneficial.Â
