Analysis

This is another NAC supplement from NOW Foods, offering the common and effective 600mg dose of N-Acetyl Cysteine, a well-regarded antioxidant and glutathione precursor. Like its larger counterpart (id: 163777), it includes 50mcg of Molybdenum (as Sodium Molybdate) to support the metabolic pathways of sulfur-containing compounds. With an exceptionally high review count, this product is highly popular and trusted by consumers. However, compared to its larger serving size variant from the same brand, this 100-serving bottle offers a higher price per serving, making it a slightly less economical choice for long-term use.

Pros
  • Highly reputable brand (NOW Foods).
  • Very high review count indicating strong consumer satisfaction.
  • Standard effective dose of NAC (600mg).
  • Includes Molybdenum for sulfur metabolism support.
Cons
  • Higher price per serving compared to the larger bottle of the same product.
  • Sodium Molybdate form might be less bioavailable than chelated forms for some individuals.
  • The 'Testosterone Support' goal is not a primary benefit of NAC.

Categories
Molybdenum 80.0
Provides 50mcg of Molybdenum as Sodium Molybdate, which is a functional dose for assisting in the metabolism of sulfur compounds from NAC, thus helping to prevent potential sulfite accumulation and supporting overall metabolic health.
Goals
Detoxification 90.0
NAC at 600mg is highly effective as a glutathione precursor, supporting robust liver detoxification processes and aiding in the elimination of harmful compounds. The added molybdenum ensures proper metabolism of sulfur compounds generated by NAC.
General Health 85.0
Its significant antioxidant capacity helps combat oxidative stress throughout the body, supports immune function, and promotes respiratory health, all contributing to overall vitality and well-being.
Testosterone Support 40.0
While NAC offers general cellular benefits and may indirectly support an optimal physiological environment, its direct impact on testosterone levels is not a primary or well-established mechanism. Any benefit would likely be indirect through reduced oxidative stress.
