Foods High in Cysteine (N-AC)

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a supplement form of the amino acid cysteine, and was recently banned for public sale by the FDA, now requiring a prescription.

NAC helps replenish glutathione, arguably your body’s most powerful antioxidant. NAC’s antioxidant and expectorant capacity can improve lung function by decreasing inflammation as well as breaking up mucus.

I'm a huge proponent of getting nutrients from food, so here's a list of foods containing high levels of cysteine.

• Eggs

• Beef

• Chicken

• Lentils

• Oatmeal

• Yogurt

• Pork

• Sunflower Seeds

• Cheese

Eat on, friends ✌🏻
