In 2016, a randomized controlled study showed that it improved health outcomes for people with chronic obstructive lung disease or COPD.

It definitely helps the lungs to clear toxins and other harmful elements including microbes.
NAC also helps to boost Glutathione and to assist the body‘s detoxification of harmful substances.
