It serves as a precursor to glutathione, one of the body’s most powerful antioxidants. While L-cysteine is naturally found in high-protein foods such as poultry, eggs, and dairy, NAC is used in supplement form because it is more bioavailable and effective at raising intracellular glutathione levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"842\" data-start=\"470\"\u003eIn clinical settings, NAC has been used for decades as a mucolytic agent to help break down thick mucus in respiratory conditions and as an emergency treatment for acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose to protect the liver. Today, NAC is widely used as a dietary supplement for antioxidant support, respiratory health, liver function, immune defense, and mental well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"847\" data-start=\"844\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"861\" data-start=\"849\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"861\" data-start=\"849\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1156\" data-start=\"863\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"898\" data-start=\"863\"\u003e1.
