N-Acetyl L-Cysteine or "NAC" is derived from simple amino acid cysteine and is of great medicinal value. N-acetyl-cysteine has the ability to neutralize cell and DNA damaging free radicals and therefore plays an important role in slowing down the process of aging. As such, it protects us from a wide range of modern toxins including paraquat (a toxic herbicide), acrolein (present in cigarette smoke and auto exhaust), halothane (an anesthetic), adriamycin (both anticancer drugs) and hazardous side effects of cyclophosphamide. Apart from this toxin protection, it also facilitates in converting and synthesizing glutathione, an amino acid that is found in every cell. This amino acid comprises of glycine, L-glutamic acid, and L-cysteine, out of which glycine and L-glutamic acid are present in large quantities in our diets. Despite this, our bodies can produce glutathione only in limited quantities due to limited availability of cysteine. N-acetyl-cysteine supplements thus help the body increase production of glutathione.

Safflower Seed Oil- The oil of a highly branched, herbaceous, thistle-like annual, usually with many long sharp spines on the leaves. The leading producers of this plant are India, United States, and Mexico. The rest of the produce comes from Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, China, Argentina and Australia. Traditionally its seeds were used in coloring and flavoring of foods. It is mostly cultivated these days for vegetable oil extracted from its seeds but some recent researches show that genetically modified transgenic safflower plants can be used to create human insulin. The oil from Safflower seeds is considered a better alternative to olive oil because it is lower in saturates.
