N Acetyl Cysteine - As a dietary supplement
« on: 10/10/2009 11:20:01 »
 - Protein synthesis is one of the most vital functions taking place in each and every human body. In order for us to utilize our protein intake in an efficient manner, an ample supply of the amino acid glutathione must be present in our cells. NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is essential in the formation of glutathione, as it directly impacts our ability to synthesize the proteins we ingest. NOW NAC (with added trace elements of molybdenum and selenium) acts as a precursor to the production of glutathione, Enhances ward off Problem created due to harmful organisms through its antioxidant/detoxification properties and facilitates the production of several digestive enzymes.
