Vitakruid NAC 600mg N-acetyl-L-cysteine 60 vegetarian capsules<\/p>\n
A semi-essential amino acid<\/u>
\nAs a rule, our body synthesises the semi-essential amino acid cysteine from L-methionine, but a great deal can go wrong during this conversion process. Furthermore, factors such as surgery, diet, rapid growth or strenuous exercise can cause a semi-essential amino acid to become essential. The rate at which our body absorbs the amino acid is then insufficient to meet our needs. To ensure that the body has sufficient cysteine at its disposal in such circumstances, supplementation with NAC 600 offers a valuable solution.<\/p>\n
Easily absorbed due to acetyl<\/u>
\nAcetyl is, in fact, a molecular component; the acetyl group is therefore not a molecule in its own right. We can draw a comparison with an arm or a leg: highly functional within the body as a whole, but worthless on its own. Nevertheless, the binding of acetyl to cysteine is of great value within our body. This is because three properties of the molecular fragment ensure a more efficient passage through the cell membrane.<\/p>\n
Acetyl is a lipid-like compound, which enables the intestine to absorb the molecule as a whole. In addition, the acetyl bond protects the molecule against oxidation, resulting in rapid distribution within the cell. The enzymes present in the cell can then break down the bond at lightning speed. As a result, the body absorbs N-acetyl-L-cysteine effectively, unlike regular cysteine.<\/p>\n
Glutathione precursor<\/u>
\nGlutathione is a compound consisting of three amino acids (a tripeptide), which the body produces from cysteine, glutamine and glycine. The latter two are readily available through dietary intake, meaning they do not pose any problems for the formation of glutathione. Cysteine, on the other hand, is more difficult to obtain from food, making it the limiting factor in this compound. Furthermore, cysteine is the active part of the glutathione molecule.<\/p>\n
But if glutathione is so important to me, why don\u2019t I just take glutathione? Research shows that the body absorbs little or no (reduced) glutathione. The gastrointestinal tract simply breaks it down. Even doses of three grams do not result in an increase in glutathione levels in the body. And since our body does absorb the acetylated form of cysteine, supplementation with glutathione\u2019s precursor is more effective than taking (reduced) glutathione.<\/p>\n

\nWe offer N-acetyl-L-cysteine in an enteric-coated capsule. By encapsulating this powder, the formula remains resistant to moisture and light. Furthermore, the gelatine coating ensures that the N-acetyl-L-cysteine is resistant to stomach acid. This allows the powder to reach the gastrointestinal tract without any problems, where the N-acetyl-L-cysteine can be fully utilised!<\/p>\n\n\n
