Of these three, \u003cstrong\u003ecysteine is the rate-limiting precursor\u003c\/strong\u003e — meaning the body's ability to synthesise glutathione is directly constrained by cysteine availability. NAC is a stable, bioavailable form of cysteine that, once absorbed, is deacetylated to free cysteine inside cells. Multiple published studies have documented that oral NAC supplementation raises both plasma cysteine levels and intracellular glutathione concentrations. Published review literature describes NAC's primary antioxidant role as its ability to increase intracellular glutathione concentration — the most abundant nonprotein thiol in the body and one of the main antioxidants responsible for maintaining cellular redox status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📊 Oxidative Stress — RCT Evidence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA randomised crossover trial comparing NAC, oral glutathione, and sublingual glutathione in adults found that NAC supplementation was effective for increasing glutathione levels, and that the GSH\/GSSG ratio — a key marker of cellular redox status — was significantly higher in the NAC group than in the oral glutathione group. A higher GSH\/GSSG ratio indicates lower oxidative stress burden at the cellular level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📊 The 600 mg Dose — Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dose in this product — 600 mg per capsule — is the dose that appears most consistently across published human clinical trials on NAC.

Once absorbed, NAC is converted to free cysteine inside cells. Cysteine is the rate-limiting precursor to glutathione — meaning it is the building block the body needs most to synthesise glutathione. Published research documents that oral NAC supplementation raises both plasma cysteine and intracellular glutathione concentrations. Glutathione is described in biochemistry literature as the body's most abundant intracellular antioxidant. For a full explanation of the mechanism, safety, and evidence, read our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/probiotic.ie\/blogs\/blog\/nac-supplement-ireland-guide\"\u003ecomplete NAC guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not just take a glutathione supplement directly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOral glutathione has poor bioavailability — it is broken down in the digestive tract before it can enter cells intact. Published research comparing oral glutathione and NAC has found that NAC is more effective at raising intracellular glutathione levels, because NAC is absorbed as a precursor and glutathione is synthesised inside the cell where it is needed. This is why NAC is often described in research literature as the preferred oral strategy for raising glutathione.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does this formula include selenium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelenium is a required cofactor for glutathione peroxidase (GPx) — the enzyme that uses glutathione to neutralise harmful reactive oxygen species inside cells. Without adequate selenium, glutathione cannot be fully deployed by the GPx enzyme system. The L-selenomethionine form used in this product is the organic, most bioavailable form of selenium. Under EU Regulation 1924\/2006, selenium is authorised to claim it contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is molybdenum doing in this formula?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolybdenum is an essential trace mineral and cofactor for several key enzymes including sulfite oxidase — which is involved in the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids.

The study found that berberine produced a glucose-lowering effect comparable to that of metformin over the same period, with significant reductions recorded in HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and postprandial blood glucose. Berberine also outperformed metformin on certain lipid markers in that study, including triglycerides and total cholesterol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📊 Meta-Analysis Evidence — 46 Randomised Trials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA systematic review and meta-analysis published in \u003cem\u003eOxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity\u003c\/em\u003e (2021, PubMed ID: 34956436) pooled data from 46 randomised controlled trials examining berberine in the context of type 2 diabetes. Across those trials, berberine was associated with statistically significant reductions in HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and two-hour postprandial glucose, as well as improvements in insulin resistance markers (HOMA-IR) and lipid profiles including LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📊 Umbrella Meta-Analysis — Across Multiple Meta-Analyses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2023 umbrella meta-analysis published in \u003cem\u003eClinical Therapeutics\u003c\/em\u003e (Nazari et al., 2024, PubMed ID: 38016844) synthesised the findings of multiple existing meta-analyses of randomised placebo-controlled trials.

Published mechanistic studies show AMPK activation by berberine is associated with increased glucose uptake in peripheral muscle and fat tissue, inhibition of gluconeogenesis in the liver, and modulation of lipid metabolism pathways.

It dissolves clear, does not thicken liquids, and has no taste, which is why it mixes into water, juice, tea or food without changing texture or flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"hofib-faq-q\" id=\"faq-fodmap\"\u003eIs this fibre powder low-FODMAP?\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"hofib-faq-a\"\u003eSunfiber partially hydrolysed guar gum is widely used as a low-FODMAP soluble fibre. If you follow a low-FODMAP plan or are sensitive to inulin and chicory-based fibres, PHGG is a common alternative.

Its strains are identified by NCIMB deposit codes, which are neutral public identifiers, so the composition can be checked against a public register rather than taken on trust. It is manufactured by EOS2021 S.r.l. and supplied in Ireland as CDS22-formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"iefaq-strains\"\u003eWhich strains are in CDS22-formula, and at what CFU?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eEach capsule contains 112 billion CFU: Streptococcus thermophilus NCIMB 30438 (58 billion), Lactobacillus acidophilus NCIMB 30442 (9 billion), Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 30437 (9 billion), Lactobacillus paracasei NCIMB 30439 (9 billion), Lactobacillus helveticus NCIMB 30440 (9 billion), Bifidobacterium breve NCIMB 30441 (6 billion), and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis NCIMB 30435 and NCIMB 30436 (6 billion each).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"iefaq-format\"\u003eShould I choose the capsules or the sachets?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eBoth contain the same De Simone Formulation with the same eight NCIMB-identified strains. The difference is format and live count per serving. The capsules provide 112 billion CFU per vegetable capsule and suit a simple daily routine and travel. The sachets provide 450 billion CFU per sachet as a powder mixed into a cool drink or yogurt. The choice is format preference and the count you want per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"iefaq-vegetarian\"\u003eIs CDS22-formula suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes. The capsule shell is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), a vegetable capsule, so the product is suitable for vegetarians. It is also gluten-free and contains no preservatives or synthetic sweeteners.

The manufacturer specifies refrigerated storage at +2°C to +8°C to maintain the stated live count through the product's shelf life. Per the manufacturer's storage leaflet it stays shelf-stable at room temperature up to 25°C for up to seven days, which comfortably covers a tracked Irish delivery.
