Verifiable Science
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the dietary amino acid L-cysteine.1 NAC has a high affinity for lung tissue, which it supports through mucolytic and antioxidant action. Due to its sulfur content, NAC is able to disrupt disulfide bonds within mucus, thinning and easing its expulsion.2 NAC is a free radical scavenger and thus supports epithelial cell health and healthy cilia activity in the
respiratory tract.3 NAC is also a precursor to the
antioxidant glutathione, and supplemental NAC
increases tissue levels of glutathione.4 As
fundamental components of the immune system,
lymphocytes rely on glutathione to function properly.
Tissues enhanced with glutathione support overall
antioxidant protection and help to maintain a
healthy immune response.5 A multicenter,
randomized, double-blind trial with 262 participants
indicated that NAC supplementation for six months
supported upper respiratory tract and immune
system health.6 A recent meta-analysis of eight
double-blind, placebo-controlled trials provided
additional support for NAC's ability to support
respiratory tract health.7‡
