This N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine from Life Extension provides 600mg per capsule, without bells and whistles. One substance, one fixed amount, packaged in a plant-based capsule. The American brand Life Extension has existed since 1980 and is known for short, clear labels. The bottle contains 60 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat NAC actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAC is the abbreviation for N-acetyl-L-cysteine. That is a modified form of cysteine, an amino acid (a building block of proteins). What many people do not know: cysteine belongs to the sulfur-containing amino acids. Together with methionine, it is one of the few building blocks with a sulfur atom in the structure. Your body produces cysteine itself from methionine, and you also get it through protein-rich food such as eggs, dairy, meat, and legumes. In N-acetyl-L-cysteine, an extra acetyl group (a small molecular group of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) is attached to the amino acid. That small adjustment makes the substance more stable than free cysteine, so that it is easier to process into a capsule. In your body, that acetyl group is removed again. In short: NAC is cysteine in a handy, stable form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e600mg per capsule, which means that\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder how much NAC is in a capsule. With this product, that is exactly 600mg. That is the amount you most often encounter with NAC capsules in the store, and you also find it in the name of the product. Life Extension recommends one to three capsules per day. If you take one per day, then you will last two months with a bottle. The nice thing about a single product: you know exactly what you are getting. There are no other active substances, herbs, or vitamins in it that you have to count. That also makes this N-acetyl-L-cysteine easy to combine with other supplements you already use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe capsule and what else is in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the 600mg N-acetyl-L-cysteine, each capsule contains only some excipients. Plant-based stearate and silicon dioxide ensure that the powder flows smoothly through the filling machine and does not clump. The capsule itself is made of plant-based cellulose. So there is no gelatin in it, which makes the capsule suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Life Extension also states that the product is non-GMO (made without genetically modified ingredients). By the way: NAC naturally has a slightly sulfurous smell. Do you smell that when you open the bottle? Then there is nothing wrong. That is simply part of the sulfur atom in the molecule, just like you recognize it in garlic or eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAC is a product that is mainly about simplicity. A well-known substance, a common amount of 600mg, and a capsule without animal ingredients. Life Extension keeps the label short and clear, so you can immediately see what you have in your hands. This way, this bottle of 60 capsules easily fits into a fixed daily routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Life Extension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54826876567890,"sku":"LifeExtension-003","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/LifeExtension-003.jpg?v=1790248941","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/n-acetyl-l-cysteine-nac-600mg","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
