Ability to boost glutathione levels may improve immune function

NAC and glutathione are also immune boosters. According to research on specific disorders connected with NAC and glutathione deficiencies, supplementing with NAC may enhance — and maybe restore — immune function. This aspect has received the greatest attention among HIV patients. NAC supplementation resulted in a considerable boost in immunological function, with the nearly total restoration of natural killer cells in two investigations. High NAC levels in the body may also inhibit HIV-1 reproduction.

In other immune-compromised circumstances, such as the flu, test-tube research found that NAC may inhibit the virus's capacity to multiply. This has the ability to minimize the severity and duration of the sickness. Similarly, previous research has connected NAC to cancer cell death and the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. More human research is required in general. As a result, before using NAC during cancer treatment, consult with your doctor.
