NAC 500 is a professional grade nutraceutical product that has been expertly developed with N-acetylcysteine. By providing the body with this supportive amino acid, NAC 500 can help the body produce sufficient amounts of glutathione to promote an optimal response to oxidative stress. With these powerful antioxidant properties, NAC 500 has the potential to support a wide range of processes and functions that contribute to whole body health, including optimal immune function, inflammatory response, cognitive function, energy production, liver health, GI function, respiratory health and cardiovascular function.
Amino acids are organic compounds required for the construction of the thousands of proteins that the body needs to function and perform at an optimal level. Proteins are actually made of amino acids chained together in various distinct sequences. In fact, amino acids and proteins are so integral to the overall function of the body that they are often referred to as the building blocks of life. Without proteins and amino acids, the body would struggle to perform even the most basic of processes and functions, including the breaking down of food, energy production and fighting infections.
Some of these amino acids, which are classified as essential amino acids, cannot be produced naturally by the body and must be obtained from external sources. Other amino acids, which are referred to as non-essential amino acids, can be found naturally in the body. However, it is still important to provide the body with these amino acids throughout the day to ensure that the body is utilizing them properly. A great example of this is L-cysteine. L-cysteine is a non-essential amino acid, and is commonly sought after for supplementation either through food or as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a powerful antioxidant nutraceutical.
Amino acids are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged in various formations. When strung together in a chain, amino acids form a wide range of proteins that the body requires for the various functions and processes that influence whole-body health. Without a variety of essential and non-essential amino acids, the body would be unable to reap the many benefits of proteins. The variety of functions and processes that rely on proteins include:
NAC is a supplement that has been developed as the synthetic form of cysteine. Once ingested, NAC turns into L-cysteine inside the body. While the body can produce cysteine on its own, it can only do so after ingesting the essential amino acid known as methionine. This relationship is the reason that many people consider cysteine to be a conditionally essential amino acid.
Cysteine can also be obtained from a variety of dietary sources that include:
Once L-cysteine is inside the body, it can be combined with glycine and glutamic acid to create glutathione. In addition to possessing powerful antioxidant properties, this tripeptide chain has been recognized for its ability to support a variety of other functions that include:
L-cysteine’s ability to help the body produce glutathione is arguably its most significant contribution to comprehensive wellness. Glutathione, like other antioxidants, has shown an ability to support an optimal response to oxidative stress throughout the body.
Free radical oxidant molecules are a byproduct of the body breaking down food to be converted into energy. While free radicals can support proper immune system function, too many of these molecules can wreak havoc throughout the body as they attempt to bond with stable atoms and molecules. Oxidative stress is the result of these chaotic interactions and can lead to a wide range of symptoms and health conditions that include:
Since oxidative stress can contribute to inflammation and even chronic inflammation, this common condition can lead to a wide array of other symptoms and conditions that include:
Not only do free radical oxidants result from the body breaking down food, but they can also proliferate throughout the body in response to a variety of external sources, including:
