N-Acetyl Cysteine, or simply NAC, is a powerful antioxidant and semi-essential amino acid. It’s considered semi-essential because your body can produce it from other amino acids, namely methionine, and serine. It becomes essential only when the dietary intake of methionine and serine is low.
The FDA has been issuing warning letters to companies marketing dietary supplement products containing N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC).

Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Certain vitamins (such as B vitamins) and minerals (such as magnesium), which help in the process of conversion of food into energy by activating specific enzymes are called energy nutrients, whereas the nutrients that protect the body from various toxins (such as environmental pollutants) are known as protector nutrients.
The protector nutrients include beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, copper, manganese, selenium and zinc.
Most of the protector nutrients act as antioxidants by eliminating free radicals (which are highly reactive, unstable molecules produced during the process of conversion of food into energy).
Some nutrients are known to perform specific functions in the body, for example, vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium protect the body from environmental pollutants while B vitamins counteract emotional and physical stress.
A vegetarian diet is rich in fibre, micronutrients and antioxidants.
