Here is the latest and greatest news on this supplement from Science Based Wellness.

First of all... what is NAC? NAC stands for N-Acetylcysteine, a supplement form of cycsteine and a semi-essential amino acid. It is considered semi-essential because your body can produce it from other amino acids. Two other amino acids, glutamine and glycine, are necessary to make and replenish Glutathione, the master antioxidant in your body. Glutathione important to help neutralize free radicals that can damage cells and tissues in your body. It’s essential for immune health and helps with chronic respiratory conditions, fertility, brain health, and more. 

Benefits of NAC

• Helps replenish glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant.
• Improves lung health and respiratory tract conditions.
• Boosts brain health in those with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.
• Helps with your body's detoxification process.
• May improve mental health conditions and reduce substance use.
• Improves fertility in both men and women.
• May stabilize blood sugar.

Improves fertility in men and women? Yes! Approximately 15% of couples trying to conceive are affected by infertility and in half of the cases, the male infertility is the main factor. Many male infertility issues increase when the antioxidant levels are insufficient to address free radical formation in the reproductive system. The oxidative stress can cause cell death and reduced fertility. 

NAC can also help those with COPD, by improving symptoms and managing lung decline. It can also improve wheezing and severity of coughing with asthma patients. Also helping with long haul COVID patients who still have trouble with breathing issues. Basically giving a boost to glutathione levels to help improve all immune systems and functions.
