NAC is a substance that helps the liver work better, reduces inflammation in fat cells, and makes it easier to lose fat and recover from exercise.
Scientific Claim
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) improves liver function, supports cellular detoxification, modulates inflammation in adipose tissue, enhances fat loss, and improves recovery from physical exertion.
Original Statement
“It's almost like all the good things get taken away. Like what if there was a compound that improved liver function, supported detoxification at the cellular level, made fat loss easier, and regulars tried to ban it? Well, there actually is. So, if you've ever felt like fat loss should be easier than it is, or like maybe your liver feels sluggish even though you eat pretty clean, or maybe your workouts drain you more than they build you up, this is going to hit home with you, okay? Because this compound has been used in hospitals for decades. It's shown to modulate inflammation inside fat cells. It supports liver detoxification pathways. It improves recovery and fatigue. And regulators literally try to remove it from supplements altogether. Not because it was unsafe, not because it didn't work, but because it worked so well that it blurred the line between drug and supplement. Okay, bottom line straight up. That compound is called NAC, Nacetylcysteine.”
