Description

ALLNUTRITION NAC or N-acetyl L-cysteine is a modified form of cysteine attached to the acetyl group. Cysteine – one of the endogenous amino acids (i.e. those that the body can synthesize itself), containing sulfur. Due to its specific structure, it is a very reactive amino acid, binds many toxic substances, and therefore is helpful in detoxification processes. L-cysteine (along with glutamine and glycine) is also essential in the synthesis of glutathione – a strong intracorporeal antioxidant. It also takes part in the synthesis of proteins, enzymes and coenzymes.
