Detoxification
NAC has the ability to detoxify some chemicals. NAC is the most common form of cysteine and extremely important in detoxification, often used to treat drug and alcohol overdoses. [4]

Antioxidant
NAC is an amino acid and a precursor to glutathione, the body’s most abundant and powerful antioxidant critical for neutralizing free radicals in every cell in the body, and protecting against the damage done by heavy metal toxicity. [2]

Vitamin E’s antioxidant functions help to protect our cell membranes and lung tissue from pollution. Research in rats clearly showed their ability to tolerate increased ozone levels and to survive much longer with vitamin E. [12]

Heart Health
NAC reduces hypertension by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow. It has been found useful in treating congestive heart failure. [5] NAC has been used in treating and preventing cardiovascular disease. [1]

Cancer Prevention
Studies have shown that vitamin C plays a crucial role in preventing cancer. A new study suggests that ascorbic acid inhibits the division and growth of cancerous cells. [6]

Immune System
Vitamin C helps the body deal with environmental pollution and toxic chemicals. It also boosts the immune system. It helps the body fight off colds and flu, as well as many other viral infections. [7]

Cholesterol
Clinical studies show that vitamin C levels correspond to total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels. [8] One study indicated that the higher the content of vitamin C in the blood, the lower the total cholesterol and triglycerides and the higher the HDL cholesterol. [9]

Blood Pressure
Clinical studies show that vitamin C levels inversely correlate with blood pressure. Several preliminary studies show a modest blood-pressure-lowering effect of vitamin C in people with mild elevations of blood pressure. [8]

Diabetes
Since insulin facilitates the transporting of vitamin C into the cells, most diabetics suffer from a deficiency of vitamin C.[10] Someone with diabetes needs more vitamin C than an “adequate” dietary amount. High doses of vitamin C are essential in the treatment of diabetes.

Disease prevention
Recent studies have shown that Vitamin E can prevent heart disease, reduce the risk of prostate cancer, and even slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. [11]

PMS, Menopause, & Birth Control Pills
Research shows relief from menstrual pains, as well as general relief from various menstrual disorders. Many problems of menopause, such as headaches, hot flashes, or vaginal itching due to dryness, may be reduced with the use of supplemental vitamin E. It may also help decrease the side effects of birth control pills. [12]

Atherosclerosis
Vitamin E may help prevent atherosclerosis. Its antioxidant effect reduces thrombin formation and therefore helps decrease blood clotting, as well as minimize platelet aggregation. [12]

Cholesterol
Taken along with vitamin A, vitamin E can help decrease cholesterol and general fat accumulation. [12]

Healing powers
Vitamin E is used both internally and externally to assist in the repair of skin lesions, ulcers, burns, abrasions, and dry skin. It is also used to diminish scars caused by surgery or injury.
