N-Acetyl Cysteine - Super Antioxidant - 90 x 1000mg
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) may help support and maintain healthy lung function and maintain healthy levels of inflammation in the body.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), an analogue of the dietary amino acid cysteine, is known for its mucolytic (mucous breaking) and may help support and maintain healthy lung function and maintain healthy levels of inflammation in the body. NAC acts as a potent antioxidant (free radical quencher). NAC is a thiol compound thereby providing sulfhydryl groups which act as direct free radical scavengers and also help support the production of the endogenous (internal) antioxidant glutathione.
Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that maintains vitamins C and E in there antioxidant state, and it also acts as a scavenging antioxidant that removes reactive oxygen species once they are formed. Glutathione is a critical phase 2 detoxification factor. Essentially it acts to conjugate fat soluble toxins (i.e. heavy metals), thereby converting them to neutral water soluble compounds that can easily be excreted out of the body.

Dosage Guide
The therapeutic dosage of NAC varies according to the condition being treated. For instance, for COPD the supplemental dose is 600mg daily while for reducing plasma homocysteine levels 1.2 grams daily have been used. Unfortunately, many products in the commercial market typically contain very low levels of NAC. For this reason Enerex Botanicals has developed a formula containing 1000mg of pharmaceutical grade NAC per caplet for improved therapeutic potentials. Consult with your natural health practitioner to determine the most effective dose to manage your particular health condition. Otherwise a daily dose of 1-2 caplets is a general health recommendation.
Contraindications
Taking NAC with intravenous nitroglycerin may cause severe hypotension and intolerable headaches. Check with health care professional prior to supplemental intake.
