Vitakruid NAC 600 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine
A semi-essential amino acid
Our body generally forms the semi-essential amino acid cysteine from l-methionine, but a lot can go wrong in this conversion process. Moreover, factors such as surgery, diet, rapid growth, or heavy exercise can make a semi-essential amino acid essential. The rate at which our body absorbs the amino acid then falls short of meeting our needs. To ensure that the body has enough cysteine available in such circumstances, supplementation with NAC 600 offers a valuable solution.
Easily absorbed due to acetyl
Acetyl is essentially a molecular part; the acetyl group is not a molecule in itself. We can draw a comparison with an arm or a leg, very functional within the whole of a body, but worthless on its own. Nevertheless, the coupling of acetyl with cysteine is of great value within our body. Three properties of the molecular part ensure more efficient passage through the cell membrane.
Acetyl is a lipid-like compound, allowing the intestine to absorb the molecule as a whole. In addition, the acetyl bond protects the molecule against oxidation, which results in rapid dispersion in the cell. Subsequently, the enzymes present in the cell can split the bond very quickly. As a result, the body absorbs n-acetyl-l-cysteine well, unlike regular cysteine.
Precursor to Glutathione
Glutathione is a compound of three amino acids (tripeptide) that the body produces from cysteine, glutamine, and glycine. The latter two are very accessible through absorption from food, making them non-problematic factors for the formation of glutathione. Cysteine, on the other hand, is more difficult to obtain from food, which makes it the limiting factor within this compound. Moreover, cysteine is the active part of the glutathione molecule.
But if glutathione is so important to me, why don't I just take glutathione? Research shows that the body does not, or hardly, absorbs (reduced) glutathione. The gastrointestinal tract simply destroys the nutrient. Even dosages 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 the precursor to glutathione is more effective than taking (reduced) glutathione.
Stable in the gastrointestinal tract due to stomach acid-resistant capsule
We offer N-acetyl-l-cysteine in a stomach-resistant capsule. By supplementing this powder in a capsule, the formula remains resistant to moisture and light. In addition, the gelatin coating ensures that n-acetyl-l-cysteine is resistant to stomach acid. This allows the powder to reach the gastrointestinal tract without problems, where the n-acetyl-l-cysteine comes to its full potential!
