During periods of physical exertion, active sports, or recovery, your body's natural need for specific amino acids may increase. Although your body normally produces cysteine itself, this internal production may fall short under the influence of an active lifestyle or specific circumstances. This can lead to a reduced availability of essential building blocks. Vitakruid NAC 600 mg offers targeted and efficient support in this regard. By choosing a stable, easily absorbable form, this supplement helps your body to replenish the necessary amino acid levels in a responsible manner.

Key benefits

• Superior absorbability: The addition of the acetyl group ensures that the n-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) can effectively pass through the cell wall and is optimally absorbed by the body.
• Effective precursor: Acts as a direct and stable building block for the body's own production of glutathione, unlike directly supplemented glutathione which is poorly absorbed.
• Gastric acid-resistant capsule: The special capsule protects the active powder against moisture, light, and stomach acid, allowing it to reach the intestines intact for optimal effect.
• Vegetarian product: The capsules are completely plant-based and therefore suitable for vegetarians.

How it works

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a stable and acetylated form of the semi-essential amino acid l-cysteine. In the body, cysteine is the most important and often limiting factor in the production of glutathione, an important tripeptide compound. Because regular cysteine is sensitive to oxidation and directly supplemented glutathione is largely broken down in the gastrointestinal tract, NAC offers the ideal solution. The acetyl bond protects the amino acid against premature breakdown and oxidation. Once in the cell, the body's own enzymes quickly split the bond, making the cysteine directly available for your metabolism.
