NAC (N acetyl cysteine), is a powerful antioxidant that is derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. As an antioxidant, NAC helps protect cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress is a condition in which there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them.
What Is NAC?
NAC is a key co-enzyme that the mitochondria in every cell of our bodies depend on to fuel all basic functions.
As we age, our bodies produce less NAC and the communication between the Mitochondria and cell nucleus is impaired.
Over time, decreasing NAC impairs the cell’s ability to make energy, which leads to aging and disease and perhaps even the key factor in why we age.
