NAC to Boost Glutathione, Combat Toxicity
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) serves as a precursor amino acid that significantly aids in glutathione production, which is crucial for detoxifying the liver, particularly in cases of acetaminophen toxicity. Its affordability makes it accessible, with typical costs around $29 a bottle. NAC is particularly beneficial for individuals exposed to environmental toxins, such as smoke from forest fires, enhancing glutathione levels in both lung tissue and the liver. This is especially relevant for workers in high-risk environments like hair salons or aluminum smelters. A study from Baylor University demonstrated that supplementing NAC with glycine resulted in increased glutathione levels, showing significant improvements in various health markers related to aging, including epigenetic age, waist circumference, and VO2 max, over a 12-week period. This suggests that combining NAC with glycine can provide vital support in managing toxicity and promoting healthier aging.
