N-acetylcysteine (NAC)‚ a sulfur-containing amino acid‚ is the precursor of the amino acids L-cysteine and glutathione. Animal and human studies of NAC show it to have powerful antioxidant activity. In addition to antioxidant activity‚ NAC is effective in promoting normal liver detoxification.
As a sulfur source‚ NAC stimulates glutathione (an important antioxidant produced in the body) synthesis and activity‚ promotes liver detoxification‚ and is a powerful molecule capable of scavenging free radicals.
Research suggests NAC is capable of enhancing immunity. In a double-blind‚ placebo-controlled trial‚ NAC was shown to positively impact lymphocyte cell numbers.
NAC helps maintain good pulmonary health due to its mucolytic activity. NAC's sulfur cleaves bonds in mucoproteins‚ causing mucus to be subsequently broken into smaller‚ less viscous pieces. NAC has been noted to decrease the viscoelasticity of nasal mucus and increase the clearance of mucus by the cilia by thinning of secretions‚ thus helping maintain good pulmonary health.

Helps our German Shepherds Degenerative
Our 7 year old German Shepherd was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelitis almost 2 years ago. Since our traditional vet said that there is really no treatment for this heartbreaking malady we went to a naturopathic veterinarian who immediately started our dog on CystePlus by Thorne Research and Thornes Small Animal Antioxidant along with monthly acupuncture. Two years later our dog is maintaining adequate use of his hind legs and still has a good quality of life. The Vet says that the usual course of the disease is for the dog to loose full use of its hind legs within one year of diagnosis. We are very grateful to still have the companionship of our beloved canine friend and attribute this in part to the use of the Thorne products.

Provides Relief!
My acupuncturist recommended the CystePlus by Thorne Research because I suffer from severe sinus and allergy problems. I have taken antihistamines and allergy shots for years even had sinus surgery. I have been taking this product as directed for almost a month and even though it is Spring here with all the pollen and wind I am not suffering from allergies and sinus. Very little congestion at all. I am ordering more to help me through the remainder of the season.
Pros
-
It works.
Cons
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.
