N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant and amino acid supplement known for its wide-ranging health benefits. As a precursor to glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants, NAC plays a crucial role in detoxifying the liver, protecting cells from oxidative damage, and enhancing immune function. It is commonly used to support respiratory health by reducing mucus buildup in the airways, which is beneficial for conditions like chronic bronchitis. Additionally, NAC helps maintain optimal brain function by replenishing glutathione levels in the brain, potentially improving mental health outcomes and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. It also supports cardiovascular health by combating oxidative stress and promoting healthy blood flow.
The proprietary manufacturing method used in Augmented NAC increases the potency of N-acetylcysteine, elevating its detoxification potential. By optimizing NAC, Augmented NAC is the ideal choice for those seeking comprehensive and efficient detox benefits.

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a supplement derived from an amino acid called cysteine. It's used in the body to produce a powerful antioxidant known as glutathione, one of the body's most powerful antioxidants, which helps protect cells against oxidative damage. As glutathione is fundamental to detoxification, particularly in the liver, NAC can help elevate detoxification levels in the body. It can also help to thin mucus in the airways, helping to maintain easy breathing, and is also believed to support healthy immunity. Augmented NAC uses plant-based cysteine.
