NAC solves that by supplying cysteine, the rate-limiting building block, so the body makes its own glutathione where it is actually required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat single mechanism explains the breadth of NAC's reputation. Glutathione is central to liver detoxification, which is why NAC is the hospital treatment for paracetamol overdose. It is central to antioxidant defence throughout the body. And NAC has a separate, direct action as a mucolytic — it breaks disulphide bonds in mucus, thinning it, which is the basis of its long use in respiratory contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1000 mg per caplet this is a substantial single dose, 60 caplets to a bottle. Prairie Naturals has been formulating in British Columbia since 1993, and the sports line carries the same standard as the rest of the range: no artificial colours, no artificial sweeteners, no fillers padding the tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Prairie Naturals NAC 1000mg Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis suits anyone building an antioxidant or liver-support routine, people with congestion or persistent mucus, and athletes training at high volume where oxidative load runs high. It also pairs logically with anything else supporting liver function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cautions are real and specific. **Do not take it with antibiotics.** Speak to a practitioner first if you have asthma, since NAC can cause bronchospasm in some asthmatics, or if you take nitroglycerin or blood thinners, where it may amplify the effect. Not for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding without practitioner advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrairie Naturals NAC 1000mg Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1000mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine\u003c\/strong\u003e — A full gram per caplet, a substantial single-active dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecursor to Glutathione\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supplies the rate-limiting building block so the body makes glutathione where it is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntioxidant Support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Glutathione is the body's primary internal antioxidant system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports Liver Detoxification\u003c\/strong\u003e — Liver detoxification pathways depend heavily on glutathione availability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMucolytic Action\u003c\/strong\u003e — NAC breaks disulphide bonds in mucus, thinning it — the basis of its respiratory use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelevant for High Training Loads\u003c\/strong\u003e — Heavy training raises oxidative stress and glutathione demand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e60 Caplets\u003c\/strong\u003e — A two-month supply at one caplet daily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-prairie-naturals-nac-1000mg-60-caplets\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Prairie Naturals NAC 1000mg?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA single-active supplement providing 1000 mg of N-acetyl-L-cysteine per caplet, 60 caplets per bottle.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eOne caplet daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ Why take NAC instead of glutathione?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eOral glutathione is largely broken down before absorption.
