Product Description

Thorne's NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) 500 mg supplement is designed to support respiratory health, immune function, and liver detoxification. NAC serves as a precursor to glutathione, a vital antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress. Each capsule delivers 500 mg of N-Acetylcysteine, formulated to promote optimal absorption and efficacy. This product is free from gluten, dairy, and soy, making it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions.

How it helps those with Long COVID

Caret Down

Individuals suffering from long COVID often experience persistent symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive impairments, and respiratory issues. NAC has been studied for its potential benefits in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are believed to contribute to these symptoms. By replenishing glutathione levels, NAC may help mitigate oxidative damage and support immune system balance. Additionally, research indicates that NAC supplementation could improve cognitive function and alleviate "brain fog" associated with long COVID.

Scientific Explanation

Caret Down

N-Acetylcysteine is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine and serves as a precursor to glutathione, one of the body's most potent antioxidants. Glutathione plays a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals and maintaining redox balance within cells. In the context of long COVID, elevated oxidative stress and inflammation can deplete glutathione levels, exacerbating symptoms. Supplementation with NAC has been shown to restore intracellular glutathione concentrations, thereby reducing oxidative stress and modulating inflammatory responses. Clinical studies have demonstrated that NAC can decrease markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer levels, potentially leading to improved outcomes in individuals with post-viral syndromes.
