Source of antioxidants to help protect cells against free radicals
With Selenium
Awareness of the importance of antioxidants, especially in the increasingly toxic environments in which we live, has increased demand for products that protect against the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl free radicals. These free radicals can be formed by our own metabolism (oxygen to burn fuel), and from external environmental factors such as pollutants, tobacco, smoke, drugs, xenobiotics, or radiation.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a very efficient way to replenish glutathione, one of the body’s most potent antioxidants, and reduce the damaging effects of ROS. Scientific study has also shown a reduction in sick leave time when NAC has been administered to those suffering from chronic bronchitis.
