What is in NAC Boost?
NAC stands for N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC). It is a supplemental form of cysteine. NAC is a precursor to a powerful antioxidant that your body produces called glutathione. Glutathione is not well absorbed by the gut, but NAC is well absorbed.
Are all NAC products the same?
NAC can be formulated in various doses. They vary from 200mg; 500mg; 600mg and 750 mg per tablet or capsule. NAC is a fluffy molecule and very hygroscopic. It thus occupies a lot of space. The highest dose available per standard capsule is 750 mg. It is best to use a product that is free of additives, preservatives, colourants, gluten, wheat and dairy.
Why does NAC have a bad odour?
Cysteine is a naturally occurring amino-acid and has a naturally bad odour. This unfortunately cannot be masked. The higher the dose the more potent the smell.
