Free cysteine is unstable and oxidises readily, making it a poor supplement. Attaching an acetyl group to the nitrogen produces N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine: a far more stable molecule that survives the stomach, absorbs, then is de-acetylated back to cysteine inside the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat sulphur chemistry is also why NAC has a long history of use around the airways. Sulphydryl groups interact with the disulphide bonds that make mucus thick and sticky — the mechanism behind its use to help relieve chronic bronchitis symptoms. You take the acetylated form because it arrives intact, and the cysteine it releases is what your antioxidant system is short of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults: 1 tablet 1 time per day.
