N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine and has several important uses.
1. NAC CAS 616-91-1 acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals in the body. This property makes it beneficial for overall health and may help reduce oxidative stress.
2. NAC is commonly used as a mucolytic agent to help break down and thin mucus in the airways. It is often prescribed for conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis.
3. NAC CAS 616-91-1 is an effective antidote for acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose. It helps to replenish glutathione levels in the liver, which can prevent or mitigate liver damage caused by the overdose.
4. Some studies suggest that NAC may have potential benefits for mental health conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), possibly due to its effects on glutamate levels and oxidative stress.
5. NAC CAS 616-91-1 is sometimes used as a supplement to support liver health and detoxification processes.
6. There is some evidence to suggest that NAC may improve fertility in both men and women by reducing oxidative stress and improving reproductive health.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) safely and effectively.
