Amino Acids Support Healthy Lung Function
Today is the Arbor Day. Trees are often described as the lungs of the earth and play a very important role in the ecological environment.For us humans,the lungs are also a very important part of the body and a major part of our respiratory system.This time let's see which amino acids can be used to protect our lungs.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine,or NAC,is a specialized form of the sulfur containing amino acid L-Cysteine.This important amino acid has powerful antioxidant properties which makes it become the core of the Lung Formula.
Nowadays,various outside stressors can wreak havoc on our lung such as cigarette smoke and pollution.They increase the production of free radicals, unstable compounds that damage healthy cells. Even the healthiest person cannot avoid them all. An antioxidant supplement like NAC might offer general protection but should only serve as a complement to healthy lifestyle choices.NAC contributes to the production of Glutathione(a Cysteine containing tripeptide) and can prevent the mucus buildup characteristic of so many respiratory disorders. NAC can also help reduce the oxidative damage that contributes to respiratory problems.
A small study conducted at the University of Genoa found those using NAC experienced less severe flu symptoms. Researches S.Deflora, S.Grassi and L.Carati found that taking some NAC daily resulted in fewer flu symptoms.
However, we should notice that NAC supplementation might raise levels of homocysteine—an amino acid that might increase the risk of heart disease. They also have the potential to cause gastrointestinal side effects such as an upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.As long as you don't exceed the dose recommendations on the label, NAC supplements are generally safe.So consult your doctor before taking NAC supplements.
