Vitakruid NAC 600 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine
A semi-essential amino acid
As a rule, our body produces the semi-essential amino acid cysteine from l-methionine, but a lot can go wrong with this conversion process. In addition, factors such as surgery, diet, rapid growth or strenuous exercise can make a semi-essential amino acid essential. The speed at which our body absorbs the amino acid is then insufficient to meet our needs. To ensure that the body has enough cysteine available in such circumstances, supplementation with NAC 600 offers a valuable solution.
Well absorbed by acetyl
Acetyl is in fact a molecular part, so the acetyl group is not a molecule in itself. We can compare it with an arm or a leg, very functional within the whole of a body, but worthless in itself. Nevertheless, the coupling of acetyl with cysteine has great value within our body. Three properties of the molecule ensure a more efficient passage through the cell membrane.
Acetyl is a lipid-like compound, which allows the intestine to absorb the molecule as a whole. In addition, the acetyl bond protects the molecule against oxidation, which results in rapid spread in the cell. The enzymes present in the cell can then quickly split the bond. As a result, the body absorbs n-acetyl-l-cysteine well, unlike regular cysteine.
Precursor substance of Glutathione
Glutathione is a compound of three amino acids (tripeptide), which the body produces from cysteine, glutamine and glycine. The last two are very accessible through dietary intake, so they are not problematic factors for the formation of glutathione. Cysteine, on the other hand, is more difficult to obtain from food, making it the limiting factor within this compound. In addition, cysteine is the active part of the glutathione molecule.
But if glutathione is so important to me, why don't I just take glutathione? Research shows that the body does not, or hardly, absorb (reduced) glutathione. The gastrointestinal tract simply destroys the nutrient. Even doses of three grams do not increase glutathione levels in the body. And since our body does absorb the acelylated form of cysteine, supplementation with the precursor of glutahion is more effective than taking (reduced) glutathione.
Stable in the gastrointestinal tract due to stomach acid-resistant capsule
We offer you N-acetyl-l-cysteine in a stomach-resistant capsule. By supplementing this powder in a capsule, the formula remains resistant to moisture and light. In addition, the gelatin shell ensures that the n-acetyl-l-cysteine is resistant to stomach acid. This allows the powder to reach the gastrointestinal tract without any problems, where the n-acetyl-l-cysteine reaches full maturity!

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, hypromellose (capsule), rice starch, stearic acid (anti-caking agent).
