Product Description

TR N-ACETYL-CYSTEINE CAPS is in a time release form of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), a powerful amino acid and a precursor to the critical antioxidant glutathione. TR NAC CAPS releases in the small intestine over an 8 hour period compared to the immediate release formulations available in the marketplace that disintegrate in the stomach. The time release (TR) delivery form allows the bloodstream to absorb a consistent amount of NAC throughout an 8 hour period. The current N-acetylcysteine (NAC) products in the market are immediate release formulations. A TR NAC offers the following advantages: 1.) SUSTAINED BLOOD LEVELS The size and frequency of dosing for NAC is determined by the pharmacodynamic and phamacokinetics of NAC. The slower the absorption rate, the less likely blood concentrations of NAC will fluctuate within a given dosing interval. Since NAC has a short half-life (approximately 2.15 hours), the use of a time release formulation may maintain a therapeutic concentration in the blood over a prolonged period of time. 2.) ATTENUATION OF ADVERSE EVENTS Since peak blood concentrations of NAC are reached in approximately less than one hour after dosing with the immediate release NAC, the occurrence of adverse events may be associated directly with transient high blood concentration. Such adverse events include, but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, fever, skin rash and mouth soreness. The use of a time release formulationwould potentially avoid high initial blood concentrations which may reduce the occurrence of adverse events. 3.) IMPROVED PATIENT COMPLIANCE Since NAC has a short half-life, it is subject to dosing at frequent intervals-e.g.-two (2) to four (4) times a day-in order to maintain the desired blood concentration. A reduction in the number of daily doses offered by a TR formulation has the potential for substantially improving patient compliance.
