What is NAC?

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a form of cysteine, a semi-essential amino acid that is naturally-occurring in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that help protect the body against damage. NAC is considered semi-essential because your body can produce it from other amino acids, such as methionine, and serine, and supplementation isn’t entirely necessary. It becomes essential only when the dietary intake of methionine and serine is low. NAC is most commonly found in high-protein foods such as chicken, turkey, yogurt, cheese, eggs, sunflower seeds, and legumes.
