Description
N-acetyl-l-cysteine and glycine combination to support glutathione production, immune defence and detoxification
Glutathione is one of the main endogenous antioxidants, acting in the body to recycle other antioxidants and protect the body from free radicals, as well as support detoxification. It is found in virtually every cell of the body and plays a critical role in cell function. Increased glutathione levels have been linked to supporting a reduction in oxidative stress. Cysteine and glycine are necessary precursors for glutathione (GSH) synthesis, and co supplementation of these nutrients promotes intracellular glutathione levels.
Pure NAC + Glycine powder provides 1,800 mg of both NAC and glycine per serving – a novel combination that helps to:
- Restore and promote glutathione synthesis
- Enhance immune & antioxidant defenses
- Reduce oxidative stress
- Support the body’s natural detoxification process
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pure Encapsulations NAC + Glycine Powder and what is it used for?
Pure Encapsulations NAC + Glycine Powder is a dual-precursor glutathione support formula in powder form. Each serving provides 1,800 mg N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and 1,800 mg glycine — the two main rate-limiting precursors for intracellular glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Glutathione is the body's primary internal antioxidant, supporting cellular detoxification, immune defense, and reduction of oxidative damage. Each 159 g container provides approximately 30 servings.
What are the key ingredients in Pure Encapsulations NAC + Glycine Powder and how do they work?
Each 5.3 g serving provides 1,800 mg NAC and 1,800 mg glycine. NAC provides cysteine, the rate-limiting building block for glutathione synthesis. Glycine directly replenishes the second glutathione precursor that becomes depleted with age and chronic oxidative stress. Supplying both simultaneously promotes more complete and efficient intracellular GSH synthesis compared to NAC alone. Flavored naturally with peach, mango, orange, and ginger; sweetened with purified stevia leaf extract. Contains no artificial additives.
Who is Pure Encapsulations NAC + Glycine Powder suitable for and how is it taken?
Suitable for adults seeking antioxidant support, immune defense, or general detoxification, particularly those over 40 whose glycine levels naturally decline with age. Recommended dose: 1 scoop (5.3 g) mixed into 250 mL of water daily, taken with a meal and with sufficient fluid intake, or as directed by a practitioner. Do not use with antibiotics, antacids, or nitroglycerin. Consult a doctor if pregnant, nursing, or prone to kidney stones. Discontinue if digestive upset occurs. Continuous use beyond 2 months should be supervised by a healthcare professional.
What makes Pure Encapsulations NAC + Glycine Powder different from regular NAC supplements?
Most NAC supplements are sold as capsules containing only NAC, omitting glycine. Research published by Dr. Rajagopal Sekhar's team at Baylor College of Medicine specifically identified the NAC+glycine combination (GlyNAC) as more effective at restoring depleted glutathione than NAC alone, with additional improvements in mitochondrial function and aging-related biomarkers. Pure Encapsulations delivers both at 1,800 mg each — a clinically relevant dose — in powder form free of magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and artificial additives. Third-party testing confirms absence of 32 solvent residues, common allergens, and 70 chemical contaminants. Powder format avoids capsule binders entirely and allows flexible dosing for those who cannot swallow capsules.
