N-Acetyl Cysteine - 500mg NAC daily for glutathione precursor and antioxidant support
Strom N-Acetyl Cysteine is a standalone NAC supplement in capsule form. Each capsule delivers 500mg N-Acetyl Cysteine. The 120-capsule bottle provides 120 servings at one capsule daily, or 60 servings at the 1000mg clinical dose.
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, the body's primary intracellular antioxidant tripeptide. Supplemental NAC raises cysteine availability in the liver and other tissues, supporting endogenous glutathione synthesis and replenishment. This pathway is meaningful across several contexts: heavy resistance training generates significant oxidative stress that depletes intracellular glutathione; hepatic clearance of anabolic compounds and their metabolites increases reactive oxygen species production; and calorie restriction phases reduce dietary cysteine intake. NAC also directly acts as a mucolytic and has documented activity supporting respiratory function and liver glutathione status.
What separates Strom NAC from a preworkout antioxidant blend is specificity. General antioxidant products provide exogenous antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, polyphenols) that neutralise free radicals extracellularly. NAC specifically drives intracellular glutathione synthesis, addressing the cellular antioxidant pool that exogenous antioxidants cannot reach. This makes it structurally different from, and complementary to, standard antioxidant supplementation.
NAC suits athletes in demanding training phases, bodybuilders supporting liver function during or after compound use, and individuals looking to protect mitochondrial health and respiratory function under oxidative stress. It is not a general wellness supplement for inactive individuals and should not be taken at very high doses long-term without monitoring. Contains no major allergens.
