What is NAC Powder?

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC powder) is used by the body to build antioxidants. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage and also help us fight free radicals and fight aging.

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. It also works by binding to the toxic form of acetaminophen that forms in the liver, helping to decipher.

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

Benefits of NAC Powder:

1. Emergency Medicine

NAC has been extensively studied in intensive care units as a possible way to reduce organ damage before and after surgery. Giving it shortly before heart surgery can help protect the liver in people with lung disease.

2. Liver damage from acetaminophen toxicity

N-acetylcysteine has been used as an antidote for acetaminophen poisoning for over 50 years. It is almost 100% effective as long as it is given within the first 8 hours after an overdose.

Common pain relievers containing acetaminophen, high doses can damage the liver, and even lead to liver failure. Studies have shown that NAC powder can safely prevent severe liver damage from acetaminophen and improve survival.

3. Detox

By increasing glutathione levels and fighting oxidative stress, NAC may help protect the body from various toxins and pollutants.

4. Heavy Metals

Studies have shown that NAC can treat chronic lead poisoning, help reduce lead levels in red and white blood cells and increase antioxidant enzymes in people exposed to lead.

5. Pesticides

NAC can help with pesticide poisoning by enhancing detoxification. In one study, NAC also reduced damage caused by a highly toxic pesticide (aluminum phosphide).

6. Diesel Dyes

Studies have shown that taking NAC and vitamin C before exposure to diesel can protect blood vessels. The airways of people exposed to diesel also improved their asthma symptoms, reducing their need for asthma medication.

7. Silica

Silica is commonly found in construction sites and agriculture. It can cause severe lung damage. Combined use of NAC with anti-inflammatory drugs improves lung function, cough, pain, and congestion.

8. Detoxify mushrooms

NAC may be a lifesaver for people who accidentally ingest poisonous mushrooms, promoting recovery and preventing liver failure.

9. Chemotherapy and X-rays

Cisplatin is a common chemotherapy that can damage the ears and kidneys. Studies have shown that NAC ear injections prevent cisplatin damage and protect the ears. NAC, like other antioxidants, protects against X-ray radiation used to diagnose bone cancer.

10. Oxidative stress

In several studies, NAC powder improved antioxidant status, also increased glutathione levels and activity, and reduced markers of oxidative damage by more than 30%. Excessive oxidative stress can damage cells and lead to many chronic diseases, malnutrition and toxin exposure. By supplementing with glutathione, NAC may be able to protect cells and organs from oxidative attack.

NAC also increased red blood cells and markers of their function and size (erythropoietin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV).

11. Influenza

Because NAC reduces the body's inflammatory response, some researchers believe it may help prevent the flu or reduce symptoms of the common cold,

It can also help reduce inflammation.
