NAC supports liver detoxification, respiratory health (thins mucus), and cellular antioxidant defense. It's used in hospitals as the standard treatment for acetaminophen overdose. Research also supports NAC for mental health, immune function, and fertility. The 250-capsule count provides over 8 months of daily supplementation.
