Unveiling the Fountain of Youth: NAC and Beyond!

Have you been made aware of the recent scientific studies concerning N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC), conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)? In this study, the results are showing that NAC holds promise in mitigating the signs of aging. Prepare yourself for an illuminating expedition into the realm of NAC, viability of supplementing with NAC and potential alternatives. The following article's goal is provide education & elucidation, by exploring the details of the study in an easier to understand form.

NAC's Superpowers: A Concise Overview:

As imparted by the esteemed experts at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), through its transformation into Glutathione (GSH), the quintessential antioxidant, NAC assumes a pivotal role in the ongoing battle against aging. More on Glutathione later. Lets explore the benefits of NAC first!

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. When consumed, NAC gets absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, sent to the liver, and converted to cysteine. The liver uses cysteine to produce glutathione, which then enters the bloodstream and gets distributed throughout the body.

The Fantastic Four: NAC's Benefits:

  1. Anti-Aging Antics: By bolstering the body's glutathione levels, NAC combats harmful free radicals, granting us an opportunity to preserve our youthful vigor.

  2. Liver's Stalwart Ally: Beyond a mere auxiliary role, NAC provides crucial support to the liver's detoxification processes, safeguarding us from the detrimental effects of toxins and medications.

  3. A Breath of Fresh Air: NAC emerges as a savior for individuals afflicted with respiratory ailments such as COPD and cystic fibrosis, as it can effectively dissolve and dilute mucus, facilitating unencumbered breathing.

  4. A Mental Health Maverick: NAC displays potential as a valiant protector against mental health disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and OCD. Though the mechanisms are still not entirely understood, research endeavors to delve into this realm.

Oral vs. Intravenous Showdown:

Brain Fog and Inflammation

Regrettably, orally administered NAC does not boast efficient absorption into the body. Indeed, research has shown that a mere 5% or less of orally ingested NAC appears in the bloodstream. On the other hand NAC Intravenous administration provides a much better route to make it to its final destination, the liver. Since this practice is often expensive and not practical, lets explore some alternatives.

Some Alternatives to NAC Supplementation:

Considering the potential limitations of conventional NAC supplementation, alternative routes are worth exploring:

  1. Liposomal NAC: Formulations utilizing liposomes enhance NAC's bioavailability, though the considerable molecular size of NAC is not ideal for successful oral absorption. So, even though we can somewhat increase Liposomal NAC absorption rates, it is still not the most ideal solution.

  2. Glutathione Supplementation: Direct Glutathione administration circumvents the pitfalls of limited oral absorption. Yet, optimal results may rely on liposomal or sublingual formulations. Glutathione supplementation is problematic, since indigestion and heartburn is the first thing users that supplement this way will notice. Therefore long term use may end up causing more damage, since prolonged heartburn can damage the lining of our esophagus.

  3. Glutathione-Rich Foods: A fortuitous array of nourishing options, such as Kale, Garlic, Whey Protein, and Turmeric, can augment Glutathione levels and bestow other health benefits despite the limitations of oral supplementation. This method of supplementation to achieve increased Glutathione levels again suffers from the same woes that any oral supplementation mentioned earlier suffers.

  4. Embracing Exercise and Quality Sleep: These steadfast allies have demonstrated their prowess in reducing oxidative damage, offering a path to rejuvenation and vitality. This is a more natural way to help increase Glutathione, but is it enough? The short answer, No.

    So what do we do? Is there an alternative?

    What if instead of increasing NAC and Glutathione in the body, we make it more available to the body by supplementing with another ingredient? Well, this is what we discovered. As we were exploring better means of increasing Glutathione in the body and understanding the intricate ways it interacts with other chemicals, we had a "Light Bulb" moment. And, here it is. The final conclusion from that study.

    Glutathione's Epic Adventure: From Neurotransmitter to Antioxidant

    Glutamate and glutamine are both nonessential amino acids, which means your body makes all that you need. But, glutamine can become essential when the body is under stress. These two substances are different than Glutathione, although part of the building block of this antioxidant.

    Glutathione is produced from Glutamate, an excellent neurotransmitter. But wait, there's more! Glutamate also shape-shifts into GABA, another incredible neurotransmitter! So, what does this mean? Hold on to that thought and look at the intricate chemical orchestra playing out in this illustration.

    Glutamate GABA Conversion Process

    Keeping Glutathione in the Spotlight

    When Glutamate is in low supply, our body goes into conservation mode. Not only does it produce less GABA, the neurotransmitter that helps us keep calm, it can also slow the conversion into Glutathione. What this means is that less Glutathione is produced, depleting and ultimately robbing our bodies of this vital anti-oxidant. We can't let that happen! 

    How to Save the Day: Boosting Glutamate and GABA!

    Increasing Glutamate and GABA levels is easier by oral supplementation with high absorption rates! Thanks to another mighty essential ingredient, we can quickly increase Glutathione levels and enjoy its secondary advantage, its calming effects on the brain and body.

    Introducing Pharma GABA: The Calm-Bringer Extraordinaire!

    Pharma GABA, the fermented natural form of GABA,  packs a powerful punch and can be swallowed whole and with its increased absorption rate, it's like a magic potion for your brain and body. So how does this effect our Glutathione levels?

    When Pharma GABA Steps In: A Relaxation Fiesta!

    By taking Pharma GABA orally, less Glutamate is converted to GABA, thus increasing its supply and availability to produce more Glutathione! We're not only boosting Glutathione levels this way, but also keeping our cells in a Zen-like state by supplementing with a natural form of GABA.
