Description

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, commonly known as NAC, is a stable supplemental form of the amino acid L-cysteine. L-cysteine is a sulphur-containing amino acid and is involved in the body’s natural production of glutathione, a naturally occurring compound found within cells.
NAC has become a widely used food supplement for those looking to include a supplemental source of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine as part of a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Each capsule provides:
• N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) — 500mg
Other ingredients: Rice flour and HPMC vegetable capsule shell.
Rice flour is used in a small amount as a functional filler to support consistent capsule filling and accurate dosing. It is not included as an active ingredient and no nutritional benefit is claimed from its presence.
At Health Leads, we focus on straightforward formulations and avoid unnecessary processing aids and additives wherever possible. This product contains no magnesium stearate, no artificial colours, no artificial sweeteners and no hydrogenated oils.
Why Does NAC Have a Sulphur Smell?

Each pack contains 90 capsules, providing a 90-day supply when taken at the suggested intake of one capsule daily.
