Product Description:

N-acetyl cysteine, also called NAC or acetylcysteine, is the N-acetylated form of the amino acid L-cysteine. It is a white crystalline powder with a typical sulphurous smell, more stable than free cysteine. In the body it supplies cysteine, one of the three amino acids used to build glutathione. This page lists oral tablets and capsules at 600 mg and 1000 mg. Effervescent tablets and sachets are common in some countries, and the intravenous form is a hospital medicine outside this listing.

Regulatory status depends on the market. In many countries oral acetylcysteine is a registered mucolytic medicine that loosens thick mucus, and the intravenous form is the established antidote for paracetamol overdose. Elsewhere, tablets and capsules are sold as food supplements under food law, where no disease claims are allowed. Importers must settle the route before ordering, because label wording, dossier and permitted dose follow from it. Quality points are the same: assay against label claim, related substances such as cystine and diacetylcystine, heavy metals and microbial limits.

Sourcing notes. Ask for the raw material grade, ideally Ph. Eur. or USP acetylcysteine, with a CoA per finished batch covering assay, disintegration, heavy metals and microbial counts. NAC slowly oxidises with air and moisture, so tightly closed bottles with a desiccant or aluminium blisters help in zone IVb climates. Discoloured contents or a stronger odour than usual should be raised with the maker. Request pharmaceutical GMP for a medicine, or food supplement GMP or HACCP certification.
