Canadian Protein NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine) Powder, 100g

Canadian Protein NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine) Powder Description

NAC is often referred to simply as NAC and it is actually a precursor to glutathione, which is another highly beneficial compound. The body can actually naturally synthesize L-Cysteine, but on top of that, it is also commonly located in foods such as egg yolks, chicken, and red peppers. L-Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid, and it is described as being non-essential, due to the fact that the body can naturally synthesize it. However, just because it is non-essential, that doesn’t mean that we can’t benefit from increasing our daily intakes. NAC is basically an altered form of L-Cysteine, due to the fact that L-Cysteine supplementation would be incredibly unstable. It is attached to an Acetyl group, hence the name.
