N-Acetyl L-Cysteine is a type of amino acid which is sulfur based and is needed in order for the synthesis of glutathione to take place. Since glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, this makes the presence of N-acetyl L-cysteine all the more crucial as it indirectly protects against the attacks by harmful free radicals. N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) is a more bioavailable form of the original L-Cysteine, another kind of sulfur based amino acid type. Unfortunately NAC cannot be found in the diet and needs to be supplemented in order to gain the full benefits. Cysteine is still quite useful alone though, as it is necessary for the sulfation cycle to take place. The sulfation cycle results in overall detoxification of the body as well as a reduction of stress that results from oxidation all around which means that this benefits physical fitness.
