NAC (N-acetylcysteine)

Description

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a synthetic derivative of cysteine, a sulphur-containing amino acid, which is involved in the elimination of foreign molecules from the body, including drugs.

NAC allows the synthesis of glutathione, an antioxidant molecule involved in the elimination of free radicals and reactive oxygen species. These molecules are responsible for the oxidative stress that leads to cellular ageing.
