What the acetyl group does
The acetyl group is a small carbon group that is attached to the nitrogen atom of cysteine. As a result, the substance oxidises less quickly and a capsule stays usable. Chemically, it is therefore the same building block, just in a packaged form.
Sulphur in amino acids
Apart from methionine, cysteine is the only amino acid in our protein that contains sulphur. That sulphur group can form bridges between protein chains, which allows proteins to take on and hold their three-dimensional shape. It is also where the characteristic smell comes from.
Dosing from 600 to 1200 mg
One capsule provides 600 mg, two capsules 1200 mg. At one a day, a jar of 80 capsules lasts almost three months. The distinct sulphur smell is part of the substance and says nothing about the quality of the raw material.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine capsules by Ergomax
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a dietary supplement with a wide range of applications. Belonging to the group of mucolytics, it is regularly used in mainstream medicine. N-acetyl cysteine is the precursor to the human body's endogenous antioxidant glutathione. An additional aspect less widely known, N-acetyl cysteine influences gene expression. At this fundamental level, N-acetyl cysteine regulates several important processes throughout the body.
Benefits
- Excellent absorption and stable
- Precursor to glutathione
- Wide applicability
- Of natural origin
- Free from gluten, soy and artificial additives; GMO-free
What is N-Acetyl Cysteine?
The substance N-acetyl-cysteine is the acetylated form of the sulfur-containing amino acid L-cysteine. The 'N' stands for the nitrogen atom. The acetyl group, after cleavage, acts as an important biochemical in the body. The body can synthesize L-cysteine from the amino acid L-methionine, but synthesis is not always sufficient. N-acetyl cysteine is thus a semi-essential, or "conditional", amino acid.
N-acetyl cysteine is not naturally found in the body: supplementation is the only way to obtain sufficient amounts of this substance. N-acetyl cysteine is more optimally absorbed and is more stable than regular cysteine. In this supplement.Ergomax uses N-acetyl-cysteine of Japanese Pharmaceutical Quality.
Supplement glutathione via N-acetyl cysteine
Despite the fact that N-acetyl-cysteine is not synthesized by the body, it is an important substance for the production of a main body's own antioxidant: glutathione. Glutathione is made up of the amino acids cysteine, glutamine and glycine, provided that these amino acids are sufficiently present in the body. Glutathione is essential for good physical functioning. Environmental and lifestyle factors influence our glutathione stocks.
What is the effect of acetylcysteine?
Taking N-acetyl cysteine is one of the best and smart ways to replenish your glutathione stock. By supplying the body with N-acetyl cysteine, it can produce more glutathione, as needed. As with supplementation with other antioxidants, it is important not to overdose N-acetyl cysteine. You want to stimulate the important glutathione system, not disrupt it. At the appropriate dosage, N-acetyl cysteine is very safe to use.
How many times a day do you take acetylcysteine?
The daily dosage of N-acetyl-cysteine from Ergomax is 1 to 2 capsules. If you take 2 capsules, it is best to take them at two different times.
How long can you take acetylcysteine?
N-acetyl-cysteine is a semi-essential, or conditional, amino acid. This means that your body can use it every day. You can therefore use acetylcysteine for as long as you like. Stick to the recommended dosage.
Is Fluimicil the same as acetylcysteine?
Acetylcysteine is known by several names, such as Fluimicil. Fluimicil is sold through pharmacies as a medicine and may have a different dosage and application. N-acetyl-cysteine is a food supplement.
