600 mg – 100 Vcaps® - Vegetarian
NAC is a stable form of the amino acid L-Cysteine. Selenium and Molybdenum have been added to BioSynergy’s formula because they are essential trace minerals that facilitate the production of several enzymes that are important for maximizing the bioavailability of NAC.
N-acetyl cysteine or NAC helps maintain the integrity of cells and telomeres, boosts levels of glutathione, and supports detoxification, among many other health and anti-aging benefits.
BioSynergy NAC N-acetyl cysteine supplement is made from the highest quality raw materials with guaranteed potency.

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), an amino acid-derived compound, is increasing in popularity as a growing number of scientific studies indicate it’s potential for health and longevity.
NAC N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) Benefits:
Some of the benefits attributed to NAC supplementation;
- NAC replenishes levels of the intercellular antioxidant glutathione which is depleted with advanced age and chronic illness, and is one of the body’s most powerful antioxidant defenses.
- NAC reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in scores of genes.
- NAC is a top mitochondrial nutrient which can protect your critical energy-producing factories along with more well known supplements like Acetyl-l-carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and CoQ10. (see BioEndurance)
- NAC is a nutrient required under certain conditions such as unique genetic needs, extremes of age, stress, and sickness.
- NAC has been shown to be beneficial in animal studies of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s.
- NAC has been noted for detoxifying and clearing out toxins such as heavy metals from your body.
- NAC may slow the clinical course of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or IPF.
- NAC protects tissues from the effects of exercise induced oxidative stress, adding safety to your workout.
- NAC fights the stomach infection Helicobacter Pylori by inhibiting the organism’s growth and reducing production of inflammatory cytokines that can lead to gastritis and cancer.
- N-acetyl cysteine has been used for years in emergency rooms for patients who are at risk for liver damage from something they have ingested, such as the pain medication acetaminophen.
- NAC protects the brain and liver by boosting levels of the body’s own primary antioxidant – glutathione.
- NAC protects against bird flu by inhibiting both virus replication and expression of pro-inflammatory molecules in cells infected with H5N1 virus. 1
- NAC treated patients with moderate-to-severe COPD improved their physical performance on lung function tests, especially after exercise. 2
- NAC induces programmed cell death (apoptosis) in multiple types of human cancer cells. 3
N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC) Helps Reverse DNA Damage
A recent study published in Human Molecular Genetics discovered a possible benefit for NAC in preventing and repairing DNA damage in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) which causes premature aging in children between 8 and 21 years of age. “We found that DNA damage can be controlled and our findings could be an important step to helping both children with progeria and older people to live lives that are less debilitating in terms of health problems” Dr. Hutchinson remarked.

Shortened Telomeres Associated with Early Mortality
In a 19 year human study, telomere length was found to decrease with age in both men and women. Shortened telomeres were detected in 25% of the participants, and were associated with a 49% adjusted increase in heart attack risk, a 24% increased risk of heart disease, and a 25% greater risk of early mortality.
