What is N Acetyl Cysteine Powder?

N acetyl cysteine powder(NAC) is derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. N-acetylcysteine is an antioxidant that may play a role in cancer prevention. As a drug, healthcare providers use it to treat acetaminophen poisoning. It works by binding to a toxic form of acetaminophen formed in the liver.

People commonly use N-acetylcysteine to treat coughs and other lung conditions. It is also used for flu, dry eye and many other diseases.
