What is the simplest way to detox?

The combined action of acetylcysteine (N-acetylcysteine, NAC) and vitamin C is based on biochemical synergy involving antioxidant protection, glutathione synthesis, and toxin neutralization.

Acetylcysteine

N-acetylcysteine is a stable form of the amino acid cysteine, which is easily absorbed and penetrates cells. Cysteine is a key precursor of glutathione, the most important intracellular antioxidant and "vacuum cleaner" of toxins.

Glutathione is involved in:

• neutralizing free radicals,
• eliminating heavy metals (through the liver),
• phase II detoxification (glutathione conjugation),
• protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage.

By taking NAC, we increase the level of cysteine in the blood → glutathione synthesis is activated in the liver and other organs → all mechanisms of cellular detoxification are enhanced.

Vitamin C: Water-Soluble Antioxidant and Regenerator

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant that:

• neutralizes free radicals,
• reduces oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to its active form (GSH) — enhancing the detoxification cycle,
• participates in detoxifying nitrosamines, chlorine-containing compounds, and other carcinogens,
• facilitates the elimination of toxins through the kidneys and lymph by stimulating collagen and vascular tone.

Why Better Together

Glutathione Regeneration. NAC increases glutathione levels, while vitamin C helps restore it after use in the reaction. This enhances detox efficiency at the cellular level.

Multiphase Support. NAC assists in phase II detoxification in the liver, while vitamin C supports phase I (neutralizing oxidants) and systemic circulation.

Liver and Lung Protection. NAC is particularly important in cases of intoxication (e.g., paracetamol), while vitamin C reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.

Elimination of Heavy Metals and Toxins. NAC forms soluble complexes with mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Vitamin C stimulates the kidneys and lymphatic system.

Benefits of the Combination:

• Chronic fatigue, "brain fog"
• Recovery from viral and bacterial infections
• Alcohol, drug, and heavy metal poisoning
• Smoking, air pollution
• Long-term use of pharmaceuticals, especially antibiotics and NSAIDs
• Detox programs, anti-candida protocols
• Liver support in steatosis, hepatitis, PMS, etc.
