N-acetylcysteine, often abbreviated as NAC, is an amino acid found naturally in small amounts in high-protein foods. NAC is a derivative of cysteine ​​- one of the amino acids that build proteins. After ingestion and penetration into the body, NAC is converted to cysteine ​​in the main. However, unlike cysteine ​​itself, due to its structure features, NAC penetrates better than tissues and saturates them better with cysteine. This is important for our tissues because the role of cysteine ​​goes far beyond that of a building block for proteins. For example, cysteine ​​is essential for the production of glutathione and increases the concentration of this compound in our tissues, while glutathione is the basic element of the body's antioxidant system, protecting tissues against the destructive activity of free oxygen radicals. And it is precisely in the ability to stimulate the synthesis of glutathione in tissues that, among others, the advantage of NAC over plain cysteine. For example, it has been shown that N-acetylcysteine, when administered orally, crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases the concentration of glutathione in nervous tissue in general, and in nervous tissue in the brain in particular.
