Abstract
The controversial status of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a dietary supplement ingredient has renewed interest in its origin. This opinion article critically examines the scientific literature to investigate whether NAC is a naturally occurring compound, with a particular focus on its potential presence in plants. The primary objective of this opinion is to determine the natural occurrence of NAC, specifically within herbal matter. The classification of NAC as a dietary ingredient falls outside the scope of this analysis. We will rigorously evaluate the methodologies implemented in establishing NAC's presence in plant or herbal sources, specifically in Allium species which are often touted to contain NAC. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of prior research, we aim to clarify the evidence supporting the origin of NAC.
n -乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)作为膳食补充剂成分的争议地位重新引起了人们对其起源的兴趣。这篇评论文章批判性地审查了科学文献,以调查NAC是否是一种天然存在的化合物,并特别关注其在植物中的潜在存在。本意见的主要目的是确定NAC的自然发生,特别是在草药物质中。NAC作为一种膳食成分的分类不在本分析的范围之内。我们将严格评估在植物或草药来源中建立NAC存在的方法,特别是在经常被吹捧含有NAC的葱属植物中。通过分析前人研究的优缺点,阐明NAC起源的证据。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dietary Supplements (formerly the Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional & Medical Foods) has been retitled to reflect the bold departure from a traditional scientific journal presentation to a leading voice for anyone with a stake in dietary supplements. The journal addresses important issues that meet the broad range of interests from researchers, regulators, marketers, educators, and health professionals from academic, governmental, industry, healthcare, public health, and consumer education sectors. This vital tool not only presents scientific information but interprets it - helping you more readily pass it on to your students, patients, clients, or company.
