BENEFITS

NAC and the liver–glutathione connection – 600 mg a day

NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine) is a stable form of the amino acid cysteine. Together with glutamic acid and glycine, cysteine is one of the three building blocks of glutathione – one of the most important antioxidant compounds your body makes itself – and of the three, it is often the one in shortest supply. Among people who care about their liver health, NAC is one of the best-known food supplement ingredients, because the liver is one of the biggest users of glutathione in the body. A daily serving of Hammer NAC provides 600 mg of NAC in two vegetable capsules.

  • A building block of glutathione: NAC provides cysteine, which your body uses to make glutathione.
  • Simple to take: 2 capsules a day with food.
  • Combines well: with glycine (Amino Age), vitamin C (Endurance C) and R-alpha-lipoic acid (Mito Caps).
  • Pack size: 60 vegetable capsules, 30 servings.

What is it used for?

  • In the daily routine of people who care about their liver health: this is what it is primarily used for – on its own or alongside LSA Caps, our liver formula.
  • During hard training blocks: when heavy training also gives your body’s own antioxidant system more work to do.
  • During periods of heavy physical or mental load: as part of your daily routine, with a meal.
HAMMER NAC FAQS

What is NAC, and how is it related to glutathione?

Glutathione is built from three amino acids – glutamic acid, glycine and cysteine – and is produced inside your cells. It is one of the central compounds of your body’s own antioxidant system and is also involved in restoring the active form of other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. Of the three building blocks, cysteine is often the most limited; NAC is a stable form of this amino acid used in food supplements.

Why is NAC associated with the liver?

The liver is one of the hardest-working organs in your body: a large share of the compounds that enter your body or are formed during metabolism are transformed here, and glutathione plays a key role in these processes – which is why the liver’s demand for glutathione is especially high. NAC provides cysteine, one of the building blocks of glutathione, which is why it is one of the most popular food supplement ingredients among people who care about their liver health. If you have liver disease or elevated liver enzymes, always talk to your doctor before use.

Who do you recommend it for?

First and foremost, for people who also care about their liver health – as part of their daily routine. It is also for athletes during hard training blocks, and for anyone under sustained heavy physical or mental load who wants to pay attention to their body’s own antioxidant system too. NAC is not an instant performance booster – in our view, it is best used as part of your overall diet, sleep and recovery.

What can I combine it with?

  • Amino Age – contains glycine, another building block of glutathione.
  • Endurance C – vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  • Mito Caps – contains R-alpha-lipoic acid.
  • LSA Caps – our liver formula with selenium, milk thistle, broccoli sprout and porcini mushroom; selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  • Super Antioxidant – also contains L-glutathione and superoxide dismutase.

Should I take it right around my workouts?

During exercise, your body produces reactive oxygen species, which also play a role in how you adapt to training. That is why it’s worth planning the timing of high-dose antioxidants deliberately: in our view, take NAC with a meal as part of your daily routine, rather than timing it right around your workouts.

Is it the same as pharmacy acetylcysteine?

The active substance is the same compound, but acetylcysteine sold as a medicine has a defined indication, dosage and treatment purpose. Hammer NAC is a food supplement and is not intended to prevent or treat any disease. If you have a persistent cough, shortness of breath or any other health complaint, always see your doctor.

Who should not take it?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, or have liver disease, asthma, a gastric or duodenal ulcer or a chronic illness, have surgery planned or take medication regularly, ask your doctor before use. If you take anticoagulant, antiplatelet, blood-pressure-lowering or nitroglycerin-containing medication, use it only with your doctor’s approval.

NAC is generally well tolerated; in some people it may cause nausea, abdominal discomfort or diarrhoea – this is less likely if you take it with food.

Are Hammer Nutrition supplements tested by an independent laboratory?

Yes. Our supplements are made in accordance with US dietary supplement manufacturing regulations (21 CFR 111): every raw material used is tested for purity, potency, identity and integrity, and checked at every stage of production – blending, encapsulation, packaging materials and finished product – before it is released for sale.

What does MFG on the packaging mean?

MFG is the date of manufacture. The product keeps its quality for 4 years from the date of manufacture if you store it in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and excessive heat. After opening, always close the cap tightly and use within 6 months.

HOW TO USE

Dose: 2 capsules a day (600 mg NAC) with food.

The bottle contains 60 capsules, or 30 daily servings. In our view, what matters is regular, daily use as part of your overall diet, sleep and recovery.
