81. NAC (N-Acetylcysteine): Fighting Disease, Reducing Oxidative Stress, and Other Impacts on Human Health
N-Acetylcysteine, or NAC, is one of the most researched nutritional supplements in modern medicine, yet it’s often misunderstood. In this episode, we explore how NAC works in the body, why it plays such a critical role in antioxidant defence, and how it supports glutathione production to protect our cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
We’ll unpack the science behind NAC’s impact on liver health, brain function, mental health, immunity, cardiovascular health, and exercise recovery, as well as its therapeutic use in clinical settings such as paracetamol overdose. You’ll learn how NAC helps regulate key neurotransmitters, why this matters for anxiety and mood, and how it may support long-term disease prevention.
Whether you’re curious about supplements, managing chronic inflammation, or looking for evidence-based ways to support your health, this episode breaks down the benefits, safety considerations, and practical use of NAC in a clear, balanced, and easy-to-understand way.
