CystePlus®: A Potent N-Acetylcysteine for Respiratory and Liver Support*
Thorne’s CystePlus® provides a potent dose of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), a powerful amino acid antioxidant that is a direct precursor to glutathione. As the body’s “master antioxidant,” glutathione is essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting the liver’s natural detoxification processes. CystePlus® is a foundational supplement for individuals seeking to enhance their antioxidant defenses, support respiratory wellness, and promote healthy liver function.*
How It Works: The Glutathione Precursor
NAC is a versatile nutrient that exerts its benefits primarily by replenishing intracellular levels of glutathione.*
Support for Respiratory Health
One of the most well-researched benefits of NAC is its ability to support respiratory health. It has mucolytic properties, meaning it helps to thin and break up mucus in the airways. This action promotes clear breathing and helps to maintain the health of the entire respiratory tract, especially during seasonal challenges.*
Enhancing Detoxification and Antioxidant Defenses
By providing the direct building block for glutathione, NAC is a cornerstone of the body’s defense system. Glutathione is concentrated in the liver, where it plays a critical role in Phase II detoxification, binding to and helping to eliminate toxins. It also provides powerful antioxidant protection for every cell in the body against the damaging effects of free radicals and environmental pollutants.*
