N-A-C Sustain: A sustained-release antioxidant for improving liver, lung, cognitive, cardiovascular, immune and skin health.

Jarrow Formulas N-A-C N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine Sustain is an antioxidant and glutathione precursor, important for detoxification and supporting liver function. N-A-C (N-A-C (N-acetyl Cysteine) Sustain is a specific brand of N-A-C supplement that is formulated to provide sustained release of the active ingredient over an extended period of time. This sustained release technology allows for a slower and more gradual absorption of N-A-C, which may provide more benefits than regular N-A-C supplements.


 

Here are a few reasons why N-A-C Sustain may be better:

 

• Longer lasting effects:

N-A-C Sustain is designed to release N-A-C gradually over an extended period of time, which means it may have longer lasting effects compared to regular N-A-C supplements.
 

• More stable blood levels:

The sustained release technology in N-A-C Sustain can help maintain more stable blood levels of N-A-C throughout the day. Regular N-A-C supplements can result in a rapid rise in N-A-C levels, followed by a rapid drop, which can lead to fluctuations in blood levels. This can be problematic for people who need a steady intake of N-A-C for optimal health, such as those with chronic respiratory conditions or liver disease.
 

• Fewer side effects:

High doses of N-A-C supplements can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset, nausea and diarrhea. The gradual absorption of N-A-C from N-A-C Sustain can help minimize these side effects because sustained-release technology allows for a slower, more gradual delivery of N-A-C into the body. This can be particularly beneficial for people who need high doses of N-A-C to manage their health conditions.
 

• Convenient dosing:

Because N-A-C Sustain provides a sustained release of N-A-C over an extended period of time, it may be possible to take fewer doses throughout the day compared to regular N-A-C supplements. This may be more convenient for people who have a busy schedule or who find it difficult to remember to take several doses throughout the day. In addition, because the sustained-release technology in N-A-C Sustain ensures a more gradual and steady delivery of N-A-C into the body, it may be possible to achieve therapeutic levels of N-A-C with lower overall doses.


 

NAC helps reduce addictions and relieves psychiatric disorders

It is known that when glutamate (an important neurotransmitter in the brain) levels rise above the normal limit, combined with low glutathione levels, it leads to brain disorders, manifested by conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive behaviour or the creation and intensification of addictions. N-acetyl cysteine regulates glutamate levels, helping to alleviate the symptoms of these disorders.

In schizophrenia, NAC supplementation reduces apathy or social withdrawal. N-acetyl cysteine is the number 1 treatment for smokers. The effect it has on the body makes it much easier to give up certain harmful eating habits (alcohol, drugs, smoking, excessive consumption of sweets, etc.).

 

Relieves respiratory ailments

N-acetyl cysteine has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. People suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease experience oxidative degradation and at the same time inflammation of lung tissues. This leads to airway constriction, which manifests itself in coughing or a feeling of 'breathlessness'.


Earlier we talked about harmful behaviours and mentioned smoking. It is good to know that including a NAC supplement in the daily diet not only helps to quit smoking as an addiction, but also removes arsenic from the body (smokers accumulate arsenic in the body from tobacco smoke).


And if quitting smoking is not in your plans, it is still good to include an N-acetylcysteine supplement in your diet because it inhibits the proliferation of Streptococcus pneumoniae in smokers and chronic bronchitis patients.


Chronic bronchitis patients who use an NAC supplement do not cough as intensely and frequently. N-acetylcysteine loosens mucus from bronchial disorders, so it can be more easily removed. But the benefits this amino acid has on the respiratory system don't stop there. It also helps in cases of asthma, allergies or various infections.

 

Improves fertility in both women and men

Statistics say that 15% of couples trying to conceive a child are currently experiencing infertility problems. In men, infertility occurs when the level of antioxidants in the body is not high enough to minimise the action of free radicals on the reproductive system. For women, NAC improves the fertility of women suffering from polycystic ovaries.

 

Detoxifies the body and relieves kidney and liver disorders

This amino acid not only cleanses the body of toxins but also of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead and other toxic carcinogens.

It is also recommended for reducing the unwanted side effects that certain drugs have on the body or for eliminating the effects of exposure to environmental toxins.

Taking NAC also protects the brain and liver from the harmful effects of tobacco, alcohol and drugs. It is recommended in the treatment of hepatitis C to speed healing.
