    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a supplement and medication derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. It is commonly used to help replenish levels of the antioxidant glutathione in the body, support liver detoxification, and treat conditions like acetaminophen overdose and chronic respiratory issues. NAC has also been studied for its potential benefits in promoting hair growth and treating certain types of alopecia due to its antioxidant properties.
