NAC 600mg

Why do antioxidants matter? Every day, your cells are exposed to free radicals—reactive molecules produced through normal metabolism and in response to environmental factors. These factors include outdoor air pollution from wild fires, industrial activities and smog, as well as activities like smoking, drinking alcohol, using household chemicals, and more.

Antioxidants help protect cells against the oxidative damage these free radicals can cause.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a form of the amino acid L-cysteine and a source of antioxidants. Cysteine also happens to be one of the building blocks your body uses to make glutathione, an important antioxidant produced naturally in the body for cellular protection.

Each capsule of Pure Lab’s NAC provides 600 mg of NAC, offering a simple way to add antioxidant support to your daily routine. Its characteristic sulfurous scent naturally reflects the freshness of fully intact l-cysteine, a sulfur containing amino acid.
