Benefits:

The human body uses cysteine to produce the antioxidant glutathione, as well as the amino acid taurine.  Cysteine also plays a role in the communication between immune system cells.  As an antioxidant, NAC helps replenish glutathione levels in your lungs and reduces inflammation in your bronchial tubes and lung tissue.  By thinning mucus in your bronchial tubes and boosting glutathione levels, NAC may help decrease the severity and frequency of wheezing, coughing and respiratory attacks.

NAC also treats depression by lowering inflammation and glutamate levels.
