Twinlab: NAC

Amino acids are essential to the human body. Bodybuilders can especially benefit from supplementing amino acids because they aid in repair, growth, and development of muscle tissue.* The body, through assimilation of amino acids, produces over 50,000 proteins and over 15,000 enzymes. Amino acids are not only responsible for the production of all the body´s enzymes (including digestive enzymes), but they also play a key role in normalizing moods, concentration, attention, sleep, and sex drive.*

After protein is consumed, it is broken down into amino acids. Then, individual amino acids are used to create necessary body proteins and enzymes. Digestive enzymes break down the proteins a person consumes into amino acids. Scientists, experts, and medical professionals agree that getting enough amino acids in one´s diet is an important factor in maintaining good nutrition.*

Twinlab´s NAC is an excellent free form amino acid. NAC, or N-Acetyl-Cysteine is a precursor of Glutathione in the body and is protected and sulfur-containing. NAC comes in capsules that are easier to swallow than many other tablets or pills and easily assimilate.
