N-Acetyl-Cysteine is critical amino acid that boosts antioxidant function. It is a source of the conditionally essential amino acid L-cysteine and is a precursor to the tripeptide glutathione, an essential intracellular antioxidant, and therefore supports antioxidant and cellular detoxification pathways in the body. Each capsule of NAC provides 500 mg of this important amino acid.
