NOW Foods NAC 1000mg - 120 Tablets
NOW Foods NAC 1000mg - 120 Tablets
NOW Foods NAC is a single-ingredient N-acetylcysteine supplement delivering 1,000mg of NAC in one tablet, supplied as 120 tablets per bottle.
NAC is the acetylated (stabilised) form of the amino acid L-cysteine. This is a single-active product: one tablet provides 1,000mg of N-acetylcysteine and nothing else of note beyond the tablet excipients. Most NAC sold in Ireland comes as 600mg capsules taken several times a day; this format puts a full 1,000mg in a single tablet, so the 120-tablet bottle is a long supply at one tablet a day.

Is NAC legal to buy in Ireland?
Yes. NAC is sold legally in Ireland as a food supplement, regulated under EU food law and overseen by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). It is not a controlled substance. The US FDA debate about NAC's dietary-supplement status applies in the United States only and does not affect its status in Ireland.
Does NAC have an authorised EU health claim?
No. There is no authorised EU health claim for N-acetylcysteine, so we describe this product by its verified specification: the amount per tablet, the format, the ingredients and the suitability. We do not attach any health benefit to it.
Is it suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Yes. The tablet uses a vegetarian coating made from hypromellose (cellulose) with plant-derived components, and contains no gelatine. NOW Foods certifies the product as suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

How does 1000mg compare to 600mg NAC?
