120 Tablets
Allergy Research Group's N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) delivers a stable, acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine, a direct precursor to glutathione — the body's primary endogenous antioxidant. This 120-tablet formula supports antioxidant status, respiratory tract health, and liver function, and is well-suited for practitioners and health-conscious individuals seeking targeted glutathione precursor support.
Why It's Worth Considering: Allergy Research Group formulates to practitioner-grade standards, using NAC in its well-researched acetylated form for reliable bioavailability and consistent dosing across a 120-tablet supply.
NAC is the precursor to glutathione — the body's master antioxidant. It's used for liver detoxification, respiratory health (thins mucus), mental health (OCD, addiction, depression), immune support, and protecting against oxidative damage from toxins, alcohol, and environmental chemicals. It's also the standard ER treatment for acetaminophen overdose.
For general antioxidant support: 600mg 1-2x daily. For liver support: 1200-1800mg/day. For respiratory health: 600mg 2-3x daily. For mental health (OCD, addiction): 1200-2400mg/day (clinical study doses). Take on an empty stomach for best absorption.
No — NAC is a precursor that your body converts INTO glutathione. NAC has better oral bioavailability than direct glutathione supplements (which are largely destroyed in the stomach). NAC is generally more cost-effective for raising intracellular glutathione levels than oral glutathione, though liposomal glutathione is a viable alternative.
Yes. NAC is well-tolerated for long-term daily use at standard doses (600-1800mg). It's water-soluble and excess is excreted. Common side effects are mild GI upset, which resolves by taking with food. There's no evidence of tolerance or need for cycling.
NAC supports alcohol metabolism by boosting glutathione, which is depleted during alcohol detoxification. However, timing matters: take NAC BEFORE drinking (at least 30 minutes prior), not after. Taking NAC after alcohol may actually increase liver toxicity by interfering with the detoxification sequence.
