Description
Cysteine is a semi-essential amino acid that we must get from our diets. But when dietary intake of the amino acids needed for our bodies to make cysteine is low, taking cysteine in supplemental form is critical. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, or NAC, provides a direct source of cysteine and is known most notably for its ability to support immune health. NAC is required to make glutathione, one of our body’s most important antioxidants. It can help to relieve respiratory conditions such as bronchitis by reducing inflammation and loosening mucous that can constrict air passages.
Supplemental NAC is traditionally sourced from duck feathers, however Health First NAC is a completely vegan formula sourced from non-GMO corn! Our formula provides 500 mg of NAC and it's gluten free, making it the ideal choice for vegans, vegetarians and anyone with gluten sensitivities!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Health First and what does the brand offer?
Health First is a Canadian premium supplement brand exclusive to Health First Network member stores. Products are made in Canada using non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients and manufactured in government-inspected cGMP-certified facilities. Independent laboratory testing verifies potency, purity, and safety for every product. The range covers vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, digestive enzymes, herbals, immune support, joint and inflammation formulas, cognitive health, sleep, and children's products. Notable formulas include Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 Supreme, Cal Mag Supreme, and Berry C Supreme. The brand is available exclusively through Health First Network independent natural health retailers.
What sets Health First apart from other Canadian supplement brands?
Health First's defining characteristic is its exclusive distribution through independent natural health retailers within the Health First Network — it is not sold through mass market chains, pharmacies, or major online marketplaces. This channel exclusivity means the brand is formulated and positioned for the knowledgeable natural health consumer who shops at independent health stores, not the casual supplement buyer. Product formulations consistently prioritize bioavailability — using bisglycinate mineral forms, active B vitamin coenzymes, and food-form nutrients rather than cheaper synthetic alternatives. The government-inspected cGMP manufacturing and independent third-party testing at the batch level represent a documentation standard that many brands state but fewer consistently practice.
