Pure Encapsulations NAC 900 mg — the high-dose glutathione precursor
N-acetyl-l-cysteine is the raw material your cells use to build glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. Most NAC on the shelf is 600 mg; Pure Encapsulations' 900 mg capsule gets to a working dose in fewer pills, which matters when someone is taking it twice a day for months.
Who I reach for it with: respiratory support — NAC thins mucus and protects lung tissue; liver and detoxification protocols; heavy oxidative load from stress, poor sleep or environmental exposure; anyone whose glutathione is likely depleted and who doesn't tolerate direct glutathione well.
What makes it different: 900 mg per capsule, vegan, certified gluten-free, non-GMO, hypoallergenic — no coatings, shellac, fillers or artificial colors. Pure Encapsulations tests every lot for purity and potency.
Protocol fit: the upstream partner to AC-Glutathione and Glutathione Recycler — NAC supplies cysteine, they supply or regenerate the finished molecule. Pairs with Ultra Omega-3 in liver protocols and with vitamin C for antioxidant recycling. Designs for Health NAC is the same 900 mg dose in a smaller 120-count bottle.
FAQ — When should I take it? Away from meals, morning and evening, with water.
FAQ — Does NAC smell like sulfur? Yes — that's the cysteine. It's normal and not a sign of spoilage.
FAQ — 120 or 240? 120 is two months at one a day; 240 is two months at two a day and the better price per capsule. Available on Subscribe & Save.
