N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a sulfur-containing amino acid, is the precursor of the amino acids L-cysteine and glutathione. As a sulfur source, NAC may encourage glutathione production (an important antioxidant produced in the body), synthesis, and activity, enhance liver detoxification, and is a powerful molecule capable of scavenging free radicals.
NAC helps maintain good pulmonary health due to its mucolytic activity. NAC's sulfur cleaves bonds in mucoproteins, causing mucus to be subsequently broken into smaller, less viscous pieces. NAC has been noted to decrease the viscoelasticity of nasal mucus and increase the clearance of mucus by the cilia by thinning of secretions, thus helping maintain good pulmonary health.
Suggested Usage
Take 1 capsule two to three times daily or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

It works
by CR -
Take daily under direction of Naturopath.

It works better than others
by Lucy
This supplement works to thin and loosen mucous (better than Mucinex) and also increases immunity so you feel better sooner when you have an upper respiratory infection or nasal allergies. I have tried other Brands (Metabolic Maintenance) at a higher 600mg level that did not work as well to thin and loosen mucous. This one is more expensive, but it works better.

This one clearly works
by Beth -
I often refrain from writing reviews because it’s not easy to discern whether a product is making a difference.
This one clearly does what it is supposed to do: better workouts; more energy and an overall sense of wellness. I’m a fan!

Great Results
by Diane -
I have been faithful to take these to enhance my immune system. I went to a new practitioner who did a blood test from a finger prick and viewed my blood on the screen. She was impressed with my immune system!! And wanted me to continue with this NAC. I was grateful and a bit amazed.

Ended up switching
by Michele Anderson -
I tried this but ultimately ended up switching to another brand because of the excess ingredients in this one.
