Vitakruid NAC 600mg n-acetyl-l-cysteine 60 vegetarian capsules

A semi-essential amino acid
As a rule, our body forms the semi-essential amino acid cysteine from l-methionine, but a lot can go wrong in this conversion process. Moreover, factors such as surgery, diet, rapid growth or heavy exercise can cause a semi-essential amino acid to become essential. The rate at which our body absorbs the amino acid then falls short of meeting our needs. To ensure that the body does have enough cysteine available in such circumstances, supplementation with NAC 600 offers a valuable solution.

Good absorption due to acetyl
Acetyl is in fact a molecular part, so the acetyl group is not a molecule in itself. We can draw the comparison with an arm or a leg, very functional within the whole of a body, but worthless on its own. Nevertheless, the pairing of acetyl with cysteine has great value within our body. Indeed, three properties of the molecule part ensure more efficient passage through the cell membrane.

Acetyl is a lipid-like compound, allowing the gut to absorb the molecule as a whole. In addition, the acetyl bond protects the molecule from oxidation, resulting in rapid diffusion in the cell. Subsequently, the enzymes present in the cell can cleave the bond at lightning speed. As a result, the body does absorb n-acetyl-l-cysteine well, unlike regular cysteine.

Precursor substance of Glutathione
Glutathione is a compound of three amino acids (tripeptide), which the body produces from cysteine, glutamine and glycine. The latter two are highly accessible through dietary intake, so they are not problematic factors for glutathione formation. Cysteine, on the other hand, is more difficult to obtain from food, making it the limiting factor within this compound. Moreover, cysteine is the active part of the molecule glutathione.

But if glutathione is so important to me, why don't I just take glutathione? Research shows that the body does not, or hardly, absorb (reduced) glutathione. The gastrointestinal tract simply destroys the nutrient. Even doses of three grams do not increase glutathione levels in the body. And since our body does absorb the acelyzed form of cysteine, supplementation with the precursor of glutahione is more effective than intake of (reduced) glutathione.

Stable in gastrointestinal tract due to gastric acid-resistant capsule
We offer N-acetyl-l-cysteine in a stomach-resistant capsule. By supplementing this powder in a capsule, the formula remains resistant to moisture and light. Moreover, the gelatine shell ensures that the n-acetyl-l-cysteine is resistant to gastric acid. As a result, the powder reaches the gastrointestinal tract without any problems, where the n-acetyl-l-cysteine reaches full maturity!

Ingredients
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, hypromellose (capsule), rice starch, stearic acid (anti-caking agent).
