description
Flumil 600® is in a bilayer effervescent tablet containing N-ACETYL-L-CYSTEINE (NAC). N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, a sulfur amino compound which plays an all important role in the production of the body dominant and essential antioxidant Glutathione. Optimal Glutathione levels are important for a healthy immune system and the cell defense against viral infections.
Flumil 600® is specifically used for relief of the airways. Flumil 600® makes mucus or sputum in the lungs easier to cough up; it can help improve breathing in patients with COPD (chronic bronchitis or emphysema) or other lung diseases.
NAC primary efficacy is shown when it is needed to regenerate Glutathione, overdose of certain NSAIDs like asperin or acetaminophen may lead to a depletion of liver glutathione stores. The more stress is on the liver, the more easier this may lead to a dysfunctional liver and severe health problems.
In athletic circles it is widely used as an antioxidant. Some athletes claim to perform better with NAC supplementation than without. Pausible being caused by the vasodilating effects of Acetylcysteine. But NAC supplementation has further use as it shown to inhibited platelet aggregation.
N-Acetyl Cysteine is a better alternative than cysteine which can be obtain from dietary sources like egg whites or dairy products. Simply due to the fact that it is rapidly absorbed from the gut and finds its way to the liver and other areas in the body where L-cystein is needed. It also works twice as long in the body than just dietary cysteine.
