CanPrev CanPrev - NAC + N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 600mg, 120 vcaps
CanPrev NAC+ N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine - Designed for superior defence against oxidative stress from over-exercise, pollutants and respiratory conditions. It features 600mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) with L-Glycine and selenium for enhanced cell protection against free radicals. Helps to relieve symptoms of chronic bronchitis caused by oxidative stress. Taking NAC may improve phlegm consistency in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and help to decrease flare-ups. Both N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and L-Glycine are precursors to glutathione (GSH) – our critical intracellular antioxidant for the liver and brain. When combined with the powerhouse mineral selenium, Vitamin E levels and glutathione peroxidase levels are further enhanced for cellular health and protection. Whether you’re an athlete exposed to high levels of free radicals, fighting off a lingering respiratory condition or looking to boost your body’s detoxification abilities, CanPrev NAC+ offers a superior support system for cellular protection.

What the research supports
This is 600 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine per capsule, paired with L-glycine and selenium. NAC and glycine are both building blocks for glutathione, the body's main internal antioxidant, while selenium supports the glutathione peroxidase enzyme that puts that glutathione to work. Together the combination is aimed at cellular antioxidant defence and respiratory mucus clearing, not general vitamin coverage.
Respiratory and antioxidant trials on NAC typically use 600 to 1800 mg a day, often as 600 mg taken two or three times daily. A single 600 mg capsule covers the low end of that range, so most people aiming for the doses used in bronchitis or oxidative stress research will need two or three capsules a day rather than one.
- Easing chronic bronchitis symptoms (evidence: moderate, from human rct, meta-analysis)
- Multiple trials show NAC in the 600 to 1200 mg range reduces cough and phlegm thickness in chronic bronchitis over weeks of use.
- Supporting glutathione levels (evidence: moderate, from human rct, small clinical trial)
- NAC reliably raises intracellular glutathione in human studies, and glycine supplementation has shown similar support in smaller trials.
- Reducing COPD flare-up frequency (evidence: mixed, from human rct, meta-analysis)
- Some trials show fewer exacerbations with regular NAC use, others show no significant difference, results depend heavily on dose and duration.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- Athletes with heavy training loads and oxidative stress
- NAC replenishes glutathione, the antioxidant system that gets depleted during intense or repeated exercise.
- People with a lingering cough or thick phlegm from bronchitis
- NAC has research support for thinning mucus and easing chronic bronchitis symptoms tied to oxidative stress.
- Someone already taking NAC who wants added support
- The added L-glycine and selenium round out the glutathione pathway rather than relying on NAC alone.
Look elsewhere if
- Someone wanting a single daily capsule dose
- Look at a product where the label dose per serving already matches 1200 to 1800 mg, or plan to take this one two to three times a day.
- Someone with no respiratory symptoms just wanting general antioxidant support
- A vitamin C and E combination or a simple selenium supplement addresses general oxidative stress without the sulfur smell and higher dose commitment of NAC.
- Anyone on asthma or blood pressure medication without checking first
- NAC can interact with nitrate-based medications and bronchodilators, so this is a conversation for a pharmacist before starting.
What to expect
NAC's antioxidant effect on glutathione levels builds over days to weeks of consistent use, it isn't something felt immediately. If phlegm or chest tightness is the target, most people judge results over two to four weeks of daily use at the higher end of the dose range.
How it compares
- Compared with plain NAC capsules with no added ingredients
- This version adds L-glycine and selenium, both of which feed into glutathione production and its use, rather than leaving that support to diet alone. The tradeoff: You pay for two extra ingredients whose individual doses are not broken out here, so you can't verify how much glycine or selenium you're actually getting per capsule.
