NAC can produce and replenish glutathione. Glutathione is an important compound as it is your body’s own powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. Glutathione helps neutralize free radicals that can damage cells and tissues. It helps to improve immune function and repair cellular damage.
Glutathione plays a role in the detoxification of kidneys and liver. It can help prevent potential side effects of drugs and environmental factors like heavy metals that may impact these organs.
Restoring glutathione levels with NAC supplements makes liver cells more effective in protecting themselves from ongoing damage caused by fatty accumulation, viral infections, drug-induced damage, alcohol excess, or autoimmune inflammation.
