vitamin supplements for asthma

NAC -

N-acetyl cysteine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor for the

synthesis of glutathione, a detoxifying agent in the body.

NAC also functions as an antioxidant that has been used to combat

viruses.

NAC may also reduce the viscous mucous associated with respiratory

diseases like chronic bronchitis. It is also used as an antidote for

acetaminophen poisoning.

NAC may support the health of the respiratory system and help reduce

the production of excess mucous associated with respiratory illnesses.

When added to asthma medications, for example, NAC may reduce mucous

secretions without side effects.

NAC may also offer treatment for chronic bronchitis by lowering the

recurrence of the infections and, again, by reducing mucous secretion.

This benefit, combined with its role as an antioxidant may also

make NAC beneficial in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease (COPD).
