NAC helps muscles recover faster after exercise by reducing oxidative stress and improving how the body handles free radicals.

N-acetylcysteine increases glutathione availability in adipocytes, which reduces oxidative stress, decreases inflammatory signaling, and restores insulin sensitivity, thereby normalizing adipocyte function.

N-acetylcysteine serves as a precursor to glutathione, the body's primary intracellular antioxidant and detoxification molecule.
