N Acetyl L CysteineOne of the reasons for this is the fact that Glutathione is produced within cells, particularly by the liver. A major function of vitamin C is in fact to keep glutathione, L-cysteine, and NAC in reduced form so that they can continue to have their free radical quenching effects. Studies show that in addition to NAC, also garlic, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, and L-cysteine can boost cellular glutathione levels. However, NAC is the more efficiently absorbed and used form of L-cysteine. As vitamin C helps to enhance the compounds antioxidant qualities, many researchers suggest that if used, the compound should be supplemented together with vitamin C in the diet.
