What is NAC?

N-acetyl cysteïne (NAC) is een supplement dat bestaat uit de verbinding N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Het is een afgeleide van het aminozuur cysteïne, dat van nature in het lichaam voorkomt. De N-acetyl groep wordt toegevoegd om de stabiliteit en opneembaarheid van cysteïne te verbeteren. NAC wordt meestal verkocht in de vorm van capsules, tabletten of poeder. De exacte samenstelling kan variëren tussen verschillende merken en producten. Let er goed op dat jouw NAC supplement geen toegevoegde chemicaliën, vulstoffen of kunstmatige ingrediënten bevat. The NAC supplement we sell consists of more than 99% pure NAC

The main active ingredient in NAC is N-acetyl-L-cysteine ​​itself. This amino acid plays a crucial role in the synthesis of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant in the body. Glutathione helps neutralize free radicals and protects cells against oxidative stress. It is good to check the ingredient list of a specific NAC product before using it, especially if you have specific dietary needs or allergies.
