Swanson NAC
A staple in many supplement cabinets: Swanson NAC provides 600 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine per capsule. NAC is the abbreviation for N-Acetyl-Cysteine, the stable, acetylated form of the amino acid L-cysteine. It comes in a vegetarian capsule, one hundred pieces in a bottle.
What exactly is NAC
NAC stands for N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine. It is a form of the amino acid cysteine, where an acetyl group is attached to the molecule. Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, and that sulfur immediately explains why NAC has a distinctive odor (see the frequently asked questions). The NAC in this product is made via a fermentation process using non-animal raw materials. It is therefore a plant-derived substance.
NAC, cysteine and glutathione
Why is cysteine in particular such a well-known amino acid? The body uses cysteine as one of the building blocks to produce glutathione, a small sulfur-containing molecule that the body produces itself. NAC is often mentioned in the same breath as glutathione because it provides the acetylated form of that same building block. This is biochemistry: a description of where the molecule belongs in the body, not a promise about what it does for you.
600 mg per capsule, plant-based packaging
Each capsule contains 600 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, a commonly used dosage. You take one capsule daily with water. The capsule is made from plant-based cellulose instead of gelatin, so this product fits into a vegan and vegetarian diet. By the way, don't be surprised by the smell: due to the sulfur in cysteine, NAC smells a bit like sulfur or egg. That's normal and says nothing about the quality.
In short: NAC in its pure form, 600 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine per capsule, one hundred pieces in plant-based packaging. A straightforward choice for those who want to have this well-known form of cysteine at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NAC have to do with glutathione?
The body uses cysteine as one of the building blocks to produce glutathione, a sulfur-containing molecule that the body produces itself. NAC provides this building block in acetylated form. This is biochemistry and not a statement about an effect.
Why does NAC smell like sulfur or eggs?
Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, and sulfur naturally has an odor reminiscent of rotten eggs. Some batches smell stronger than others. This smell is normal and does not indicate anything about the quality of the product.
Is this product vegan?
Yes. The capsule is made from plant-based cellulose instead of gelatin, and the NAC itself is produced through fermentation using non-animal raw materials. This makes the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
How to take NAC?
One capsule daily with sufficient water, or as advised by your healthcare provider. The jar of one hundred capsules is therefore a supply for more than three months.
Is NAC the same as cysteine from food?
Not quite. NAC is the acetylated form of the amino acid L-cysteine. Cysteine is also found in food, for example in protein-rich products. NAC is the stable, isolated form used in supplements.
