N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid derived from methionine and serine within the body. When natural production is low, NAC supplements can help boost levels of these amino acids. Found in foods like yogurt, poultry, cheese, eggs, and leafy greens, NAC is known for its ability to enhance antioxidant levels in the body. This boost supports brain health, cardiovascular and respiratory functions, and fertility, making it a valuable nutrient for overall well-being.

All you need to know about NAC

What are the benefits of N-acetyl cysteine?

N-acetyl cysteine is essential for the immune system because of its ability to fight damage to cells. It has an important role in the body's detoxification process, and can help with conditions associated with kidney or liver damage, as well as respiratory conditions. Studies have also suggested that N-acetyl cysteine is effective at treating psychological disorders and patterns of addiction. It has also been suggested that it can be an effective treatment in slowing down brain deterioration in people with Alzheimer's.

Can I take N-acetyl cysteine daily?

Because it is not considered an essential nutrient, there isn't a daily recommended allowance for N-acetyl cysteine. If you are recommended to take it, it will be administered by a doctor. It is also commonly used in hospitals. You shouldn't try taking N-acetyl cysteine until you have spoken to your doctor.

What are the side effects of N-acetyl cysteine?

Although it is usually safe for most adults, in some cases N-acetyl cysteine can cause side effects including feeling sick and vomiting, and gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea and constipation. On the skin, it can cause rashes. Fever, feeling drowsy, headaches, liver problems and low blood pressure are other reported complaints.

When should I take N-acetyl cysteine?

Generally speaking, it is recommended that N-acetyl cysteine is taken before eating your first meal of the day (before breakfast), at least half an hour before eating. This is because some amino acid supplements are known to cause sleep problems, so it is better to take them during the day.
