## Description

Immune System Support* Supports Liver Health* N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a stable form of the non-essential amino acid cysteine. It is a sulfur-containing amino acid that acts as a stabilizer for the formation of protein structures, and promotes the formation of glutathione.* Glutathione is a powerful free radical scavenging compound that also helps to maintain normal, balanced immune system function.* In addition, NAC can help to support healthy brain and neuronal tissues.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Very good product - People don’t know that NAC ingredients is basically Sulfur and don’t understand why smells like sulfur, they’re big but I don’t have problems with big sizes, NAC activates Glutathione so the liver does his job detoxing the body Very good product 100% recommended
Review: My New Supplement Journey - I just started taking NOW Foods NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) supplements this week, so it's too early to report on personal results, but I'm optimistic based on what I've heard! Several of my friends with chronic inflammation issues have been raving about these, calling them "miracle workers" for liver protection and reducing their overall inflammation. The capsules are easy to swallow and I haven't experienced any digestive upset, which was a concern I had when starting any new supplement. The NOW Foods brand has a good reputation for quality, which factored into my decision to try this specific NAC product. I'm taking them consistently as directed and plan to give them the full recommended time to work before making any judgments. My main goals are supporting liver health and addressing some joint inflammation I've been experiencing. I'll definitely come back and update this review in a few weeks once I've had enough time to observe any effects. For now, I'm cautiously optimistic based on the experiences of people I trust!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In what country are these manufactured?**
A: It may be encapsulated in the US, but I wrote to NOW and the raw material comes from China.  So, to say it's "made in the USA" is a bit misleading, if you asked me.

**Q: Is n-acetyl-cysteine the same thing as n-acetyl-l-cysteine, note the "l"?**
A: N-acetyl-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, N-acetyl cysteine, and N-acetyl-L-cysteine are all designations for the same compound, which is abbreviated as NAC. NAC is a precursor to the amino acid cysteine, which ultimately plays two key metabolic roles. Lovely stuff.

**Q: Is this product peanut free?**
A: This product is nut-free and is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.

**Q: does this help with carb and sugar cravings?**
A: I bought it to help with sinus congestion.  It does work for that. Not sure about carb & sugar cravings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to be working! it's been only a month though
*by A***H on September 5, 2025*

It's been only a month since I started on this self-prescribed supplement and I am already seeing some benefits, like less brain fog, more balanced and calm moods and overall wellness (or a feeling akin to that). I cannot say if it is all this is attributable to NAC, as I must add here that I quit alcohol prior to starting on NAC...so it could be that factor as well. May be on 3 months I should be able to figure out better. But so far...it seems to be working. My main goal was to protect my liver , as I had been experiencing severe abdominal pains prior to quitting alcohol......
