Overview
N-acetyl cysteine is one of the few nutrients found to raise glutathione levels. Glutathione is an important antioxidant used in many different metabolic processes within the body. Maintaining adequate levels is important to supporting antioxidant protection.1-7

Antioxidant Activity

NAC is a powerful antioxidant. It acts directly as a scavenger of free radicals, especially oxygen radicals. NAC is a precursor of L-cysteine that results in increased glutathione biosynthesis. Glutathione is not well absorbed by the body when taken orally.
Studies have shown the absorption of oral glutathione to be limited, and difficult to sustain adequate glutathione levels.8 Supplementation with NAC has been shown to significantly
increase circulating levels of glutathione in the body.9,10 Increasing glutathione levels in turn increases the production of specialized antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione
peroxidase and glutathione reductase. Through the activity of these enzymes, NAC protects the body from oxidative stress.

Formulations That Work

Evidence-Based

All Ortho Molecular Products are evidence-based. The most reliable evidence comes in the form of well-controlled human clinical trials, in populations demographically similar to our doctors’ patients, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This is the standard we are aiming for when we consider which ingredients to include in our formulas. However, we also honor the historical data of thousands of years of traditional use, as well as the direct observations of health care practitioners in clinical practice.

Raw Material Superiority

Equally important as which ingredients to include is which forms of ingredients to choose. After all, there can be tremendous variation in two ingredients both called CoQ10. At Ortho Molecular Products, we hold ourselves to a standard of raw material quality seldom seen in the supplement industry, and it starts with asking the right questions. For example, when evaluating a raw material, most companies’ first question is: How much does it cost? We ask: Does the ingredient match the specifications used in clinical studies? Is it bioavailable? Has it been tested for safety? What is its country of origin? Was it manufactured in a controlled facility? Simply stated, we do not use inferior raw materials. Ever.

Therapeutic Potency

Of course, even if you have chosen evidence-based ingredients and provided them in a superior form, the formula will not work if the dosages are too small. That’s why Ortho Molecular Products always include the right therapeutic dosing of each ingredient, based on established research. This approach is what separates good supplements from great supplements — formulas that truly help your patients get better faster. It is what drives efficacy and the reason we always formulate to the power of e.
