N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is the N-acetyl derivative of the naturally occurring amino acid L-cysteine. And works primarily by helping restore the body’s natural antioxidant glutathione. NAC has been used to treat acetaminophen poisoning for decades. It provides the glutathione your liver needs to fight off the metabolite NAPQI in Tylenol that does severe liver damage.

NAC as a nootropic and a precursor of glutathione, is a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenger. Your brain is especially vulnerable to inflammation, free radical and oxidative damage. Affecting cognition, long-term potentiation, memory and mood.
