Derived from a natural process of fermentation, Organika's active NAC can help provide optimum antioxidant protection from free radicals caused by enviromental pollution, cigarette smoke and alcohol. Practitioners often prescribe it for patients with mercury or heavy metal toxicity (from the environment or from dental amalgam fillings) because of its ability to bind to these toxins easily and allow your body to excrete them. NAC can also help to provide liver support because of its potent detoxifying effect, and can also provide respiratory and lung support because of its ability to reduce mucous. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tWhat is NAC ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tN-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine and is a more stable form of this amino acid for supplementation.  NAC is a precursor to the important antioxidant, glutathione.  Glutathione works in the liver to change chemicals and metabolic byproducts into harmless substances for excretion from the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tNAC is used by the liver and the lymphocytes to detoxify chemicals and other poisons.

It is also an antioxidant that is helpful at fighting viruses. It is commonly used to help break down mucus and to protect from acetaminophen toxicity. In addition, it helps the body to synthesize the antioxidant glutathione. NAC helps to reduce plasma cell adhesion in type-2 diabetes patients. While NAC does reduce the amount of damage caused to the lungs by cigarette smoking, it does not completely protect them from damage.

The supplement N-acetylcysteine appears to minimize the severity of influenza infection. Subjects taking 500 mg twice daily experience far fewer and less severe symptoms when they become infected with the flu.

NAC has been demonstrated to have antifibrotic activity and may be a useful treatment in disease processes that involve fibrosis. NAC also has mycolytic properties and decreases viscosity of lung secretions. Due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress and apoptosis, NAC has shown the ability to restore phospholipids and reduce lipid peroxidation, which in turn can reduce symptoms associated with diabetic neuropathy and encephalopathy. NAC is also an effective treatment for influenza.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eResearch has shown NAC treatment can improve recovery from influenza by improving host defense mechanisms and through its antioxidant effect against the oxidative stress associated with viral infections.
