NAC

A naturally occurring stuff that is metabolised into the amino acid cysteine. Cysteine is one of the three components of the major cellular antioxidant glutathione (see), and people with HIV have decreased levels of this compound. Clinical research of oral and intravenously administered NAC are evaluating its usefulness in decreasing HIV activity. See: Oxidative Stress.
