N-Acetyl Cysteine MATRIS®: A Vanguard in Nutraceuticals

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, celebrated for its exceptional antioxidant properties and crucial role across various therapeutic domains. Utilized to support respiratory function, protect the liver, and enhance mental health, NAC is vital in managing conditions linked to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Despite its benefits, the integration of NAC into dietary supplements has been hindered by its unpleasant taste and odor—challenges that IPS’s MATRIS® technology has effectively overcome.

Therapeutic Properties of NAC
  • Respiratory Support: NAC effectively reduces the viscosity of mucus, facilitating airway clearance in chronic conditions such as bronchitis and cystic fibrosis. Its mucolytic action helps prevent mucus accumulation, improving respiration and reducing the risk of recurrent respiratory infections.
  • Liver Protection: Used clinically to prevent liver damage from drug overdoses, especially acetaminophen, NAC boosts glutathione levels in the liver, which is crucial for neutralizing toxins and supporting detoxification processes.
  • Mental Health: NAC impacts brain neurochemistry, showing promise in treating psychiatric disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and various forms of addiction. Studies suggest it can alleviate symptoms associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
  • Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory: NAC is a potent antioxidant that combats oxidative stress and maintains cellular integrity. Its anti-inflammatory properties are valuable in various clinical settings, including cardiovascular and rheumatological contexts, where inflammation plays a central role.
IPS Innovation: N-Acetyl Cysteine MATRIS®

IPS has innovated with N-Acetyl Cysteine MATRIS®, leveraging advanced microencapsulation technology to mask the taste and enhance the active’s absorption.
