600mg High-Potency Dose • Up to 4-Month Supply • Made in the UK
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is a stable, highly bioavailable form of the amino acid L-Cysteine and a direct precursor to glutathione, often called the body's "master antioxidant." As we age, our natural glutathione levels decline, making NAC supplementation an increasingly important component of any longevity-focused wellness routine.
NAC is Essential for Those Focused On...
- Supporting cellular health and protecting against oxidative stress as part of a longevity strategy.
- Maintaining optimal glutathione levels, which naturally decline with age.
- Supporting respiratory health and normal mucus clearance.
- Liver health and the body's natural detoxification processes.
- Recovery from intense exercise or physical stress.
- A comprehensive approach to healthspan and long-term wellbeing.
The Glutathione Connection: Your Body's Master Defense System
Glutathione is one of the most critical molecules for cellular health, found in every cell of your body. It plays a fundamental role in neutralising free radicals, supporting detoxification, and maintaining cellular function. However, direct glutathione supplementation is poorly absorbed.
NAC solves this problem. By providing your body with the building blocks it needs, NAC supports your natural glutathione production from within, offering a far more effective approach to maintaining optimal levels throughout your healthspan.
Why NAC Matters for Longevity
Cellular Protection
As a precursor to glutathione, NAC supports your cells' natural defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. Glutathione is present in every cell and plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular health throughout the ageing process.
Detoxification Support
NAC supports the liver's natural detoxification pathways. Glutathione is essential for Phase II liver detoxification, helping your body process and eliminate toxins and metabolic waste products efficiently.
Respiratory Health
NAC has well-documented mucolytic properties, meaning it helps break down mucus. This makes it particularly valuable for supporting healthy respiratory function and maintaining clear airways.
Age-Related Decline
Research indicates glutathione levels decrease significantly with age. By supporting glutathione synthesis, NAC helps address one of the fundamental biochemical changes associated with ageing, making it a cornerstone supplement for longevity-focused individuals.
Exercise Recovery
Intense exercise generates oxidative stress. NAC's role in supporting glutathione production may help with recovery and maintaining optimal cellular function during and after physical exertion, supporting long-term fitness goals.
Mitochondrial Support
Glutathione plays a vital role in mitochondrial health. Since mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of cells and their function declines with age, supporting glutathione levels through NAC supplementation is fundamental to maintaining cellular energy production.
Superior Bioavailability: Why NAC Works Better
The challenge with direct L-Cysteine supplementation is its instability and poor absorption. NAC solves this problem by adding an acetyl group to L-Cysteine, creating a stable, highly bioavailable compound that your body can efficiently use.
Once absorbed, NAC is deacetylated back into L-Cysteine, which then combines with glutamic acid and glycine to form glutathione. This indirect approach is far more effective than attempting to supplement glutathione directly, which is poorly absorbed in the digestive system.
Result: You get the glutathione support your cells need, delivered in the most efficient form possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between NAC and L-Cysteine?
NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) is a modified form of the amino acid L-Cysteine with an acetyl group added. This modification makes NAC far more stable and bioavailable than L-Cysteine alone, allowing your body to use it more efficiently to produce glutathione.
When is the best time to take NAC?
For optimal absorption, take NAC between meals with water. However, if you experience any stomach discomfort, taking it with food is perfectly acceptable. Consistency is more important than timing.
Can I take NAC with other supplements?
NAC generally combines well with other longevity supplements. Many people pair it with NMN, vitamin C, or other antioxidants for comprehensive cellular support. However, if you're taking medication, consult your healthcare professional before adding NAC to your routine.
Is this suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, our NAC is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. The capsule shell is made from plant-based HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose).
Should I take 1 or 2 capsules per day?
This depends on your individual goals. 600mg (1 capsule) is an effective maintenance dose for general cellular support. 1200mg (2 capsules) may be preferred for more intensive support, particularly during times of increased oxidative stress or for respiratory support. Do not exceed 2 capsules daily without professional guidance.
How long before I notice the benefits?
NAC works at the cellular level to support glutathione production, and its effects are cumulative rather than immediate. Most people use NAC as part of a long-term wellness strategy. Some may notice respiratory benefits relatively quickly, while cellular health benefits develop over consistent use.
Why is NAC important for longevity?
Glutathione levels decline significantly with age, and this decline is associated with various age-related health challenges. By supporting your body's natural glutathione production, NAC addresses one of the fundamental biochemical changes that occur during ageing, making it a cornerstone of any science-based longevity protocol.
