NAC 100mg

Thins Mucus and Creates an Inhospitable Environment for Infections NAC is a biologically active precursor for the amino acid cysteine which, in turn, is a precursor for glutathione, a tripeptide with antioxidant and mucolytic properties. Function 1. Thins Mucus Mucus is largely made of mucins, which are very large, gel-forming glycoproteins. These are long, tangled protein chains, forming a sticky, elastic network. A key feature holding this network together is disulfide bonds. NAC chemically cuts these sulfur “bridges” holding mucus together. Mucus becomes: • Thinner • Less viscous • Easier to cough up 2. Biofilm Disruptor • Interfering with bacterial adhesion • Can make bacteria more vulnerable to antibiotics 3. Reduce Oxidative Stress • Neutrophil activation • Glutathione precursor • Supports recovery • Can reduce inflammation by NF-kB activation
