a body building amino acid, antioxidant and detoxifier

Cysteine is a remarkable health building sulfur containing amino acid (building block of protein) which supports anabolic activity (building up of the body). Cysteine helps the body build new healthy cells to replace old unhealthy cells.

Cysteine also plays a role in proper liver functioning. It is needed for the liver to produce the free radical fighter glutathione and to help maintain it at adequate levels in the cells.

N-Acetylcysteine (N-A-C) is a more stable form of cysteine and has been shown to be more effective at boosting glutathione levels than cysteine.

N-A-C is used by the liver and the lymphocytes to detoxify chemicals and other poisons. It is a potent antioxidant that protects the body against bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and radiation damage. It blocks the activity of harmful chemicals in tobacco, alcohol, smoke and polluted air, all of which are immune suppressants.

N-A-C can boost the levels of protective enzymes in the body, thus slowing some of the cellular damage. It promotes healing after surgery and severe burns, chelates heavy metals and aids in iron absorption. It also plays an important role in the activity of white blood cells which fight disease.
