Alcohol depletes glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes toxins. In order to produce glutathione naturally, our body requires cysteine. Cysteine is the only amino acid not readily available in the body. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a form of the amino acid L-cysteine that increases glutathione and reduces acetaldehyde, a poisonous and carcinogenic by-product of alcohol metabolism.

      ​Ethanol-induced liver damage is associated with oxidative stress, and co-administration of n-acetyl cysteine attenuates this damage effectively.
