NAC, or N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, is a slightly modified version of the naturally occurring amino acid cysteine, which participates in the body's formation of glutathione. Speaking of glutathione, it is one of the most powerful antioxidants and is especially recommended after intense workout sessions. And L-glycine? That's another amino acid that is also essential for the synthesis of the amino acid glutathione. Without L-glycine, NAC is practically useless.

Important: Food supplements are only ever a supplement to a balanced and healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle.

The combination of NAC + glycine

NAC (N-acetyl L-cysteine) and glycine are involved in the synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione, in turn, is one of the body's most powerful antioxidants. Athletes have a significantly higher need for antioxidants than normally active people.

The effect of NAC

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is the precursor to the body's main antioxidant, glutathione, which is formed when NAC is combined with glycine. Supplemental intake of NAC is an effective way to increase glutathione levels in our bodies. 

Depending on diet, genetic predisposition and training load, some athletes may have a subclinical glutathione deficiency, which predisposes them to reduced athletic performance, slower recovery and an increased risk of infectious diseases.
