NAC Y²: THE WHAT, WHY & HOW

NAC, THE DERIVATIVE

Not only a precursor for producing the master antioxidant, Glutathione but NAC, an immune-modulating agent can boost the immune system and reduce inflammation.

In regard to immunity, the production of Glutathione ensures that its powerful healing properties are put to work. The antioxidant boosts the levels of Vitamin E and Vitamin C within the body as well as primes the T cells in your system - these cells are natural fighting cells that allow the body to produce more infection-fighting substances. In addition to priming cells, research has proven that Glutathione has an antibacterial effect, aiding the immune system to target, destroy and rid of invading bad bacteria. So whilst Glutathione works to boost your cells, an NAC boost also ensures the cells have a better control of navigating and stabilising viral and bacterial infections.

Treating inflammation

Oxidative stress and inflammation are closely linked. The increased production of damaged cells attract an inflammatory response that leads to the increased oxidant production. Antioxidants are proven to be extremely effective in neutralising free radicals that lead to oxidative stress and so when NAC, a thiol reducing agent is introduced it breaks down the bond that binds the inflamed cells together, reducing its impact.

What is NAC Y²?

NAC Y² is broken down as N-acetylcysteine, Ascorbyl Phosphate and Aesculus Hippocastum Extract. This was originally formulated to help patients skin repair after trauma and applied for an accelerated healing time and more effective results. The N-acetyl derivative of amino acid L-cysteine is the precursor for glutathione, an important antioxidant which is produced by the body. Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable Vitamin C derivative and antioxidant and Aesculus Hippocastum Extract is an active ingredient which is an antioxidant and vasoprotector.

The benefits of NAC on the body

Aside from being an essential for making Glutathione, NAC has many other benefits that help the skin and body. It can help with detoxification of the body, relieve respiratory conditions, boost brain health, boost immune health and may stabilise blood sugar by decreasing inflammation in fat cells.

The benefits of oral administration of NAC 

Carrying 70% of all lymphocytes in the body, the gut is the largest immune organ within the human body. As soon as NAC is injested in a supplement form it interacts with the body's immune cells to boost and bolster the immune system, combating viral illnesses.

Renowned for its ability to restore levels of glutathione, NAC plays several important roles in human health.
