PURE N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)

PURE N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) by Edubily

N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a specific form of the amino acid cysteine that helps your body specifically increase cysteine levels. L-cysteine is a semi-essential, sulfur-containing amino acid that the body can generally produce on its own from methionine. However, during certain stages of life or when there is an increased need, supplemental intake can be beneficial.  Edubily NAC capsules provide you with a high-quality, pure, and optimally dosed source of this substance.

What functions does NAC perform in the body?

The sulfhydryl group in cysteine makes NAC a key factor in numerous bodily processes:

• It is an essential component of keratin, which strengthens hair, nails, and skin
• Supports the formation of disulfide bonds to stabilize structural proteins
• Helps with detoxification by binding to heavy metals and facilitating their elimination
• Plays a key role in the production of glutathione, an important antioxidant
• Has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
• Is often used as an expectorant

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) – An essential building block for your body

The importance of cysteine to the body lies in its reactive sulfur group, which can bond with another sulfur group of a cysteine within a protein or protein structure. This forms disulfide bonds, which contribute to the stability and function of these proteins.

This cross-linking provides strength, tensile strength, and resilience to various proteins in the body. A prime example is the structural protein keratin, which is found in large quantities in the hair, nails, claws, hooves, and horns of mammals. The more strongly its components are cross-linked by disulfide bridges via L-cysteine, the stiffer the fibers are.It is particularly stable in horns and hooves, while it has a more flexible structure in wool and hair.

Reaction with metals

The sulfur group in cysteine can also react with metals, which is why it often serves as a binding site for minerals such as zinc in proteins. This property also makes cysteine a key component of the body’s own antioxidant, glutathione. Glutathione can bind to heavy metals and thus help detoxify the body.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a modified form of cysteine

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a specially modified form of cysteine that is particularly stable and well-tolerated. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties, it is also used as a medication in higher doses (e.g., in ACC® akut). After ingestion, NAC is converted in the body to L-cysteine, which in turn contributes to the formation of glutathione. Compared to free L-cysteine, however, NAC is more stable and less toxic, making it a safer and more effective way to increase cysteine levels in the body.

What sets Edubily NAC capsules apart

Edubily is committed to the highest quality and purity. The NAC capsules contain only 150 mg of N-acetyl-L-cysteine and rice flour as a filler. The HPMC capsules arepackaged inrecyclable amber glass.

 

Frequently asked questions and answers from Edubily

Is that the same active ingredient as in the cough syrup?

Yes, N-acetylcysteine is also used in higher doses as a medication to treat mucus buildup.

What are the benefits of NAC?

Cysteine is an important building block for hair and nails, giving them strength and resilience. It is also an essential component of many structural proteins and supports their function. Furthermore, it plays a key role in the formation of glutathione, an important antioxidant that helps the body detoxify by binding to and neutralizing heavy metals.
