N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a stable form of the non-essential amino acid cysteine. It is a sulfur-containing amino acid that acts as a stabilizer for the formation of protein structures and is also necessary for the formation of glutathione. Molybdenum and selenium are essential trace minerals that facilitate the production of several important enzymes.

The human body uses NAC to produce antioxidants, and emergency responders and doctors use it to prevent acetaminophen poisoning.

NAC is believed to help with other types of detoxification as well, from heavy metals to pesticides to chemotherapy side effects. Other research suggests that it may help with lung diseases and damage from COPD and infection.

Researchers are currently investigating whether NAC could be helpful in many other potential roles such as; liver health, immune function, PCOS, fertility, heart disease, exercise performance, diabetes, and more.

Effective for:

• Emergency Medicine

 NAC has been studied a lot in the intensive care units, as a possible way to reduce organ damage before and after surgery. It helped protect the livers of 70 patients with lung disease when given shortly before heart surgery

• Detox

By increasing levels of glutathione and combating oxidative stress, NAC may help protect the body from various toxins and pollutants such as:

heavy metals

pesticides

diesel fuel

chemotherapy and x-rays

• Lung Disease

COPD

• NAC plays an important role in your body’s detoxification process. It can help prevent side effects of drugs and environmental toxins.
• Boosts Brain Health. NAC helps regulate levels of glutamate, the most important neurotransmitter in your brain.
• Helps relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions.NAC can relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions by acting as an antioxidant and expectorant, loosening mucus and phlegm in your air passageways.
• May stabilise blood sugar by decreasing inflammation in fat cells. High blood sugar and obesity contribute to inflammation in fat tissue.
• NAC may reduce heart disease risk by reducing oxidative damage to tissues in your heart.

Empowering healthier lives since 1968

Back in the early 60’s the health food industry was in its infancy. “Health foods” were obscure and peculiar, and health food enthusiasts were broadly categorized as hippies and granola-heads.

During these raw and formative early years, entrepreneur Elwood Richard started a small chain of health food stores in the Chicago area called Health House. A degreed physical chemist, Elwood’s collegiate research had focused on enhancing physical performance through the use of healthy foods and nutritional supplements. The knowledge he acquired during this time left him a firm believer in the benefits of natural products for health and quality of life. He laid the early foundation for his life-long love of nutrition and healthy foods.

After losing customers to a local supermarket due to the high cost of his products, Elwood realized that in order for his health food stores to survive and thrive they needed to offer affordable natural products. Healthy foods wouldn’t last if no one could afford them. So he started his own natural products manufacturing company to supply his stores, which afforded him complete control over product cost and quality. NOW^® Foods was born.

Today NOW is still owned by the Richards family and has grown to become one of the natural product industry’s most recognisable brands, providing one of the most extensive lines of natural products available. NOW has always remained true to Elwood’s original vision – to meet consumer needs for healthy foods by offering affordable, high-quality natural products.
