Application & Function

The efficacy and effects of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine include mucolysis, antioxidant activity, improvement of liver injury, adjuvant therapy for lung diseases, prevention of radiation pneumonitis, etc. It can be used under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Specifically, as follows:

1. Mucolytic effect: It can reduce the viscosity of sputum, making it thinner and easier to cough up. The principle is to break down the mucin in sputum, destroy the structure of sputum, and improve the patency of the respiratory tract.

2. Antioxidant effect: It can effectively eliminate excessive free radicals in the body, protect cells from oxidative damage. Especially for lung cells and other tissues, it helps maintain normal physiological functions and reduce the risk of oxidative stress-related diseases.

3. Improving liver damage: In terms of the liver, it can alleviate the damage caused by drugs, alcohol, etc. to the liver. By providing thiol and other mechanisms, it participates in the metabolic detoxification process of the liver, promoting the repair and regeneration of liver cells.

4. Adjuvant therapeutic effect on lung diseases: For patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis and other lung diseases, it can assist in relieving symptoms, reducing lung inflammation, promoting the repair of damaged lung tissue, and improving the gas exchange function of the lungs.

5. Preventing radiation pneumonitis: The use of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine during radiation therapy in cancer patients can reduce the incidence of radiation pneumonitis to a certain extent and alleviate the damage of radioactive substances to the lungs.
