N-ACETYL CYSTEINE

N-Acetyl Cysteine

Powerful Protection for Your Cells

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is essential for the body to mount a defense against free radicals, and it supports the natural elimination of harmful toxins. This nutrient is a precursor to glutathione, one of the body's most powerful antioxidants that protects the liver. NAC helps protect healthy cells against damage from drug therapies, metal poisoning and second-hand smoke. It also supports the skin and eyes.

BENEFITS

• Protects the liver.
• Enhances the body's natural antioxidants.
• Promotes skin and eye health.

NAC is a chemical precursor to glutathione, one of the body's natural antioxidants. Consequently, NAC can step up the body's own efforts to combat oxidative stress and damage. NAC's benefits include protecting the liver, maintaining blood pressure levels already in the normal range and protecting the skin and eyes.

NSP ADVANTAGE

NSP N-Acetyl-Cysteine contains turmeric for added liver support. Turmeric contains curcumin, a known antioxidant that protects the liver. Just one tablet of NSP N-Acetyl-Cysteine supplies 250 mg of NAe.

SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT

Scientific studies have demonstrated NACs ability to protect the liver. Notably, NAC protects the liver from oxidative damage and supports its natural function of eliminating toxic waste.**1 Other studies show that NAC protects the skin and eyes from environmental stress.**2,**3 Studies also support the use ofNAC in joint health.

INGREDIENTS

Each tablet contains a proprietary blend of 250 mg N-Acetyl-Cysteine and turmeric.

RECOMMENDED USE

Take 1 tablet twice daily with meals.
