Analysis

Lake Avenue Nutrition's NAC N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine provides a standard 600mg dose of NAC, recognized for its roles in glutathione production and antioxidant defense. It also includes 50mcg of Molybdenum (as Sodium Molybdate), a beneficial addition for supporting the metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds. With a strong review count, this product indicates good consumer acceptance. Its price per serving is competitive, making it a solid mid-range option for those seeking effective NAC supplementation, though it is slightly less cost-effective than the best-value options from larger brands like NOW.

Pros
  • Good price for the serving count, offering decent value.
  • Strong review count indicating consumer satisfaction.
  • Standard effective dose of NAC (600mg).
  • Includes Molybdenum for sulfur metabolism support.
Cons
  • Sodium Molybdate form might be less bioavailable than chelated forms for some individuals.
  • Brand is less universally recognized than some market leaders, though still reputable.
  • The 'Testosterone Support' goal is not a primary, direct benefit of NAC.

Molybdenum 80.0
The product contains 50mcg of Molybdenum as Sodium Molybdate, an adequate amount for supporting the enzymatic breakdown of sulfur byproducts, which is beneficial when supplementing with sulfur-rich NAC, ensuring proper metabolic function.
Goals
Detoxification 90.0
The 600mg dose of NAC is highly effective in promoting glutathione synthesis, which is critical for facilitating the body's natural detoxification processes, particularly in the liver. Molybdenum further aids in the safe metabolism of sulfur compounds.
General Health 85.0
NAC functions as a potent antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress and supporting cellular integrity throughout the body. Its benefits extend to immune system modulation and respiratory health, contributing significantly to overall wellness.
Testosterone Support 40.0
While NAC's antioxidant properties may indirectly support an optimal environment for hormone production, there is no strong direct evidence or primary mechanism by which it significantly boosts testosterone levels.
