This powerful compound has been flying under
the radar in the World of Wellness
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, or NAC

Haven’t heard of N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, or NAC? You’re not alone. This powerful compound has been flying relatively under the radar in the world of wellness — and we’re not sure why!
NAC is a multipurpose supplement that delivers a variety of benefits to the body, including:

°acting as an antioxidant,
°strengthening immune defenses and
°supporting fertility,
°liver detoxification and even
°muscle recovery.

Among NAC’s many benefits is one that’s particularly timely: It may help relieve chronic respiratory conditions — which preliminary research suggests could play a pivotal role in supporting, preventing and treating those with COVID-19.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND NAC

NAC is the supplement form of cysteine, a semi-essential amino acid, found in high-protein foods such as : eggs, chicken and turkey.

Often referred to as the building blocks of protein, amino acids like cysteine are essential to body function and help with various processes such as: building muscle or regulating immune function.

NAC acts as a precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that prevents damage from free radicals on a cellular level. Free radicals are unstable atoms that cause major damage to cells by breaking them down, which in turn lays the foundation for serious illnesses, like diabetes, cancer and Alzheimers. Antioxidants (like glutathione) neutralize those free radicals. In other words, NAC can help combat cell damage throughout the body.

IMPROVES LUNG HEALTH

NAC is often used to help fight long-term lung damage in those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
NAC replenishes glutathione levels in the lungs, decreases inflammation in the lungs and bronchi and loosens mucus in the airways.

Some researchers even predict that NAC could potentially decrease the infectivity and prevent the severity of COVID-19. Several clinical trials are underway to test its effectiveness on coronavirus patients.

So in times like this, especially with colder weather coming,
it’s a great supplement to be taking.

STRENGTHENS IMMUNE HEALTH

Research shows promising results that NAC may improve immune function by killing viral cells or blocking their replication. A recent study revealed that HIV patients supplementing with NAC saw a significant improvement in their immune function and natural killer cells. Another study indicated that NAC may hinder the replication process of viruses like the flu, potentially shortening lifespan and symptoms.

This study revealed that gut microbiota impacts antioxidant metabolism, regulating glutathione. Health starts in the gut, the amino acids from NAC build and strengthen your gut.

Immunity mirrors the state of your gut health,
so a healthy gut is always recommended.

DETOXIFIES THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS

NAC also aids in the body’s detoxification process. Doctors regularly use NAC to combat kidney and liver damage for people who have overdosed on the pain reliever acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol).

NAC may even help prevent side effects from environmental toxins, such as exposure to sulfhydryl-reactive metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic). These metals deplete glutathione, inhibit antioxidant benefits and can even disrupt metabolism. Research continues to investigate how NAC may be able to counteract these harmful effects.

AIDS BRAIN FUNCTION AND PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS

Learning, memory and brain function may also improve because NAC regulates levels of the neurotransmitters glutamate in the brain.

Healthy levels of glutamate in the brain are necessary for normal brain function, but excess levels of glutamate and low levels of glutathione can be damaging for the brain, which may magnify mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictive behavior. Although doctors do not recommend NAC as a sole treatment for mental health conditions, promising research shows that NAC may help decrease symptoms of bipolar disorder, depression and OCD.

Some studies even point to NAC impacting diseases such as Alzheimers because glutathione reduces oxidative damage to brain cells that comes with aging.

This phase II trial identifies the effect of N-acetylcysteine in treating patients who have severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and are either patients in a critical care unit and / or are connected to a ventilator, or who are not in a critical care unit but require large amounts of supplemental oxygen. Recent studies suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19 may work by suppressing the immune system, which is the body's defense against infections and other diseases. White blood cells called lymphocytes are an important part of this defense, but recently it was found that the number of lymphocytes in a COVID-19 patient’s blood goes down as the infection gets worse and goes up as a patient gets better. N-acetylcysteine has been shown to help increase the number of lymphocytes in the blood when a virus is responsible for lowering it. This trial may help researchers determine whether N-acetylcysteine is effective enough against the virus that causes COVID-19 such that patients could leave the critical care unit or be taken off a ventilator, or could be prevented from needing ventilator support and management in a critical care unit.

Cool down in the Summer Heat

Essential oils belonging to the mint family, especially those with higher percentages of menthol like Peppermint Oil, will help make the body feel cooler.

Two of my two favorite essential oils to use on unbearably hot days (or anytime that I'm feeling uncomfortably warm) are Peppermint Oil and Spearmint Oil. These oils, however, are really potent, so it's important to use them sparingly, dilute them adequately for any topical applications, follow all safaty guidelines and avoid if contraindicated.

Eucalyptus acts as a nice alternative or complement to Peppermint and Spearmint oils in cooling blends. In addition to its ability to provide a cooling sensation, Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oils contain a significant quantity of the oxide 1,8-Cineole. 1,8-Cineole is said to act as both an anti-inflammatory as well as an expectorant.

Icy spray with Peppermint: Combine peppermint with some distilled water (or witch hazel) and toss it in your beach bag. Spray it on your neck, chest, or torso when you need to cool off.

Frozen towels with Eucalyptus: Whether you’re playing sports or sitting on the sidelines, protect yourself from getting overheated with an ice-cold towel. Add 5-8 total drops of Eucalyptus Radiata, and/or Eucalyptus Globulus to a damp washcloth or hand towel. Pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes, then wear it around your neck.

Instead of using manufactured insect repellents -
that use powerful chemicals to keep bugs at bay,
try these tips to naturally prevent bug bites.

Wearlight-colored, loose-fitting clothing when outside. You'll lower your chances of popping up on a mosquito's radar, as these bugs are attracted to dark colors and easily bite through tight clothing. Also avoid wearing bright or floral patterns, as resembling a scrumptious flower can make you attractive to bees and wasps.

Even if you don't have a pool or pond, you still need to eliminate standing water around your home, which is an invitation for mosquitoes to lay eggs near your abode. Drill holes in the bottoms of things like trash bins to drain water that may collect in them. Change birdbaths and pets' water dishes at least once a week and as often as possible in the summertime to wipe out any breeding grounds mosquitoes may have created. Check for other standing water sources, such as gutters, flower pots and children's toys.

Rosemary, basil, catnip, lemon balm and rose geraniums are a few essential oils that have insect-repelling qualities.

Lemon balm and catnip are especially good for warding off mosquitoes: Researchers found the essential oil in catnip to be about 10 times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET, the widely used synthetic repellent.

Make your own catch-all insect repellent from a concoction of essential oils:

30 drops of any of the following essential oils: basil, cedarwood, citronella, juniper, lemon, myrrh, pine, rose geranium or rosemary

1 cup 190-proof grain alcohol (available at liquor stores)

Place ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. Transfer to a small bottle for storage. To use, rub a small amount on exposed skin, though test first to make sure skin doesn't react negatively.

Don't like measuring and mixing -
