  Ingredient research · NAC

  NAC is a cysteine derivative that helps replenish glutathione, a major cellular antioxidant, and also thins mucus by breaking bonds in its proteins. As a supplement, it may support antioxidant defenses and respiratory health; acetylcysteine also has established medical uses as a mucolytic and as an antidote for acetaminophen poisoning.

  • Supports glutathione and antioxidant-defense measures.
  • Supports depressive symptoms and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
  • Supports cannabis-use, craving, and abstinence outcomes.
  • Evidence supports kidney-function and injury-marker outcomes in clinical treatment settings.
  • Supports hearing-loss and ototoxicity outcomes in noise- and medication-exposure settings.
