NAC regulates genes which link oxidation stress to inflammation. NAC helps reduces mucus in the lungs, especially helpful for those with cystic fibrosis and chronic pulmonary disease. NAC improves insulin sensitivity, fights H. pylori (stomach ulcers), blocks many of the steps needed for a cell to turn into cancer and can prevent the development of many common illnesses such as colds and flus.

Selenium: works well with Vitamin E. Selenium is needed for thyroid function. The immune system also needs selenium. Many people with asthma have lower selenium levels; selenium supplementation may help reduce asthma symptoms.

Vitamin E: It is necessary for skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. It helps with Vitamin A,Vitamin K, iron and selenium storage. It has a positive effect on the immune system. It helps prevent cell damage by scavenging up free radicals. If you take vitamin E, please take it with fat as it needs fat to be absorbed by the body.
