Natural Factors N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) gives you 500 mg of N-acetyl-L-cysteine in each vegetarian capsule, with nothing else on the medicinal side of the label. Helps to relieve symptoms of chronic bronchitis.
What is N-acetyl-L-cysteine?
Cysteine is a sulphur-containing amino acid found in protein foods such as poultry, eggs and legumes. NAC is the same amino acid with an acetyl group attached, a change that makes it more stable as a supplement. Once absorbed, the body can use cysteine as one of the three building blocks of glutathione, an antioxidant that cells make for themselves.

Why NAC and not plain cysteine?
Plain L-cysteine oxidizes easily when exposed to air. The acetylated form holds up better in a capsule, which is why NAC is the form most often chosen for supplements.

Cautions: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking nitroglycerin or antibiotics. Do not use if you have acetylcysteine allergy, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a health care practitioner if you have cystinuria. Keep outof the reach of children.

The BEST. Period.
I typically make my own tinctures, but not Chastetree. SO glad I was able to find it on Vitasave. And I take the NACL regularly in these smokey Canadian summers, and to not have to drive 1 1/2 hrs to get it, BONUS! Great quality. Super fast delivery. Best Free Shipping deal ($99+ in Canada).
