Editorial Review:
Product Description:
When free radicals attack, fight back with NAC! As a powerful antioxidant amino acid, NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) is an important weapon in the war against free radicals. NAC helps replenish glutathione, a critical component of the body's defense system. It supports liver health and more.

I am convinced that this truly helps with
pulmonary fibrosis. I am also taking a
breathing medicine, but I think this does it all!
I didn't want to praise too much or they'll
raise the price! Just kidding.

The previous reviewer did a great job of explaining the benefits of NAC so assuming that you are sold on it, I want to echo the statement that this brand is of excellent quality. I keep hearing things about the superior purity and consistency of the high-end product lines (my friend used to sell Herbalife.) However, I tried the Twinlabs brand and there is no difference. I bought in bulk and saved even more on shipping.

Acetyl cysteine is converted to glutathione in the body. Glutathione is responsible for detoxifying many potentially toxic metabolites. In particular, acetaminophen / paracetamol / Tylenol is in part converted to a toxic compound by the liver; glutathione deactivates this compound. Consequently, acetyl cysteine is given as an "antidote" for acetaminophen overdoses (assuming the liver isn't already trashed by the time the antidote is taken). I've been happy with Swanson nutritional supplements in the past, which is why I bought this particular brand.
