What is PureDefense w/NAC?
PureDefense w/NAC contains a combination of EpiCor®, N-acetyll-cysteine (NAC), vitamins, zinc and herbal extracts designed to promote overall immune defense and provide enhanced support for upper respiratory health. EpiCor® is a fermentate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing various bioactive metabolites produced in a specialized fermentation process. These nutrient metabolites enhance immune cell production, including natural killer (NK) cells, B cells and T cells. NK cells are part of the body’s innate, or first-line, immune response. They respond more quickly than the adaptive immune system comprised of B cells and T cells. Once activated,
natural killer cell activity peaks in as quickly as several hours, providing rapid support and wide-range immune defense.

Special Features of PureDefense w/NAC
- Enhances first-line immune defense and upper respiratory health
- Contains a unique blend of EpiCor® Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentate, NAC, nutrients and flavonoids
- Supports immune cell production and function to support innate and adaptive immune responses
- Offered in both 120-count bottle and convenient blister pack box designed for short-term dosing
Uses for PureDefense w/NAC
- Immune Defense: In one cellular study, EpiCor® promoted natural killer cell activation, as well as that of B cells and T cells. In two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, EpiCor provided statistically significant support for upper respiratory tract health and overall immune health. A separate open label, in-house trial indicated a strong potential for EpiCor supplementation to enhance secretory IgA levels after 30 days. These various actions demonstrate the ability of EpiCor to address both innate and adaptive immune responses. NAC promotes endogenous glutathione production for antioxidant protection and provides lung defense mechanisms for healthy respiratory function. In a randomized, double-blind trial
involving mostly older individuals, NAC supported comfort, nasal function and respiratory health through the winter months. Vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc provide nutritional immune support, enhancing healthy immune cell proliferation, activation and function. Vitamin D receptors have been found on a number of immune cell types, and it is believed to play an important role in seasonal immune health. Vitamin C and the bioflavonoid quercetin also help boost immune defense by supporting healthy antioxidant enzyme function.
Potential Side Effects or Precautions
- If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product.
- NAC can cause G.I. upset, abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea. Zinc can cause a metallic taste in some individuals. There have been reports of quercetin causing headache or tingling in extremities. Consult your physician for more information.
Potential Drug Interactions
- Zinc may be contraindicated with certain antibiotics.
- Elderberry may be contraindicated for individuals on immunosuppressant medications. NAC is contraindicated with nitroglycerin. Preliminary evidence suggests that quercetin may inhibit the metabolism of medications through the cytochrome pathways in the liver. Consult your physician for more information.
