May Help Prevent Cancer
NAC has also shown promise as a "chemopreventive," or cancer-preventing, compound. Most cancers are caused by damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains the genetic instructions for cell growth. Cancer-causing compounds attach to DNA via chemicals called "adducts." NAC decreases adduct numbers, according to an animal study published in Cancer Research.
Cancer cells also produce their own free radicals, which mutate DNA and signal other cancer cells to keep growing. A study, by Kaikobad Irani, Ph.D., found that antioxidants, particularly NAC, block these cell-growth signals and might inhibit the activity of some types of cancers. In the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, the University of Genoa's De Flora wrote that NAC "appears to possess all four requirements necessary for a cancer chemopreventive agent to be used in humans: low cost; practicality of use (oral administration); efficacy, as documented by eperimental data; and tolerability and very low toxicity, well established in 30 years of clinical use."
NAC may also be of value in preserving muscle tissue in cancer patients, as well as people over overexercise. Wolf Droge, Ph.D., an immunologist at the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, found that reasonably fit men had a "significant decrease" in muscle mass and an increase in body fat after eight weeks weightlifting. However, when the subjects took 600 mg of NAC three times weekly, their loss of body mass was almost completely prevented.
In sum, NAC is a power immune booster that can protect you against flu symptoms other infections and maybe even lower your risk of cancer. Furthermore, NAC supplements are extraordinarily safe, and recommended doses generally range from 500-1,200 mg daily. Because NAC contains sulfur, capsules have a strong smell. However, they generally do not cause stomach upset or bad breath.
THE KYUSOKUBIHAKU ADVANTAGE
Kyusoku Bihaku has done tremendous research to give you the best formulation available. KB has all three free-form amino acid components l-cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. Apart from this, KB is formulated with NAC and Cysteine, which is another good glutathione precursor. To further complement this one-of-a-kind blend, KB has included a separate bottle of Vitamin C Rosehips. Vitamin C is a great help in amino acid absorption because it aids in its synthesis.
