Description
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is an acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine, which plays a critical role as the precursor to glutathione (GSH)—the most essential antioxidant produced by the body. Over the past 30 years, NAC has become a trusted supplement for supporting respiratory health. It offers relief to individuals suffering from chronic respiratory conditions, such as chronic bronchitis.
Chronic bronchitis manifests through a variety of symptoms, which often require a multifactorial management approach. These symptoms include:
- Persistent and/or productive cough
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath, especially with physical exertion
- Chest tightness or discomfort
- Fatigue and tiredness
By providing N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine supplementation, individuals may experience significant relief from these symptoms, improving their quality of life.
AOR’s N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is formulated to optimize absorption, allowing it to be particularly beneficial for certain groups. As the precursor to glutathione, N-A-C works effectively to support the body’s detoxification processes and enhance respiratory function.

It is important to follow the advice of a professional to ensure the best results based on your individual health needs.
Cautions
Before starting NAC, consult with a healthcare practitioner, especially if you have a history of cystinuria or cystine kidney stones. Additionally, it is crucial to seek guidance if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering the use of NAC for more than six months. If you are currently taking nitroglycerin, antibiotics, or any other medications, check with your healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions. Moreover, if your symptoms persist or worsen after taking NAC, it is important to stop use and consult your healthcare practitioner immediately. Finally, avoid using NAC in combination with charcoal, as this may interfere with its effectiveness.
