NAC
[ Mucus Reducing Agent ]

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been used to break up pulmonary and bronchial mucus. The action of NAC is to cleave disulfide bonds by converting them to two sulfhydryl groups. When this action occurs in the lungs there is breakup of mucoproteins in lung mucus, reducing their chain lengths and thinning the mucus, improving conditions such as smoker’s cough and bronchitis.†

Proponents find that NAC is an immune enhancer; treats smoker’s cough and bronchitis; detoxifies heavy metals; helps prevent and treats cancer; helps prevent heart disease; slows progression of HIV; relieves hangover symptoms; reduces exercise fatigue.†

N-Acetylcysteine is derived from the sulfur-containing amino acid, cysteine. It is produced naturally in the body and is also obtained from the diet. Along with glutamic acid and glycine, NAC is a precursor to glutathione, which is the body’s most important cellular antioxidant and a natural detoxifier for the liver. NAC's proposed benefit to human health is rapid metabolizing to intracellular glutathione and is thus considered to be a better source of glutathione than cysteine.†

There is scientific confirmation that NAC supplementation does increase levels of glutathione in the liver, in plasma, and in the bronchioles of the lungs. Also, lack of glutathione contributes to adult respiratory distress syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.†

Modern living involves daily exposure to substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a heavy load on the liver. Certain lifestyle risks and medical conditions make it all the more important to ensure that the liver is being maintained at its functional best.

In Europe and Asia, herbal liver tonics have been in common use for centuries. The effectiveness of the herbs used has been validated during the past decades through modern research and clinical studies. These herbs generally contain antioxidants, cell membrane stabilizing agents, bile secretion enhancing compounds, or nutrients that prevent depletion of endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione.†

A major function of vitamin C is to keep glutathione in its reduced form so that it can continue to provide free radical quenching effects.†
