Many people believe fatty liver is caused simply by fat, but the real issue is often oxidative stress damaging liver cells. When oxidative stress increases due to processed foods, alcohol, excess fructose, toxins, and chronic stress, the liver’s antioxidant defenses become depleted. One of the most important antioxidants for liver protection is glutathione, often called the body’s master antioxidant. When glutathione levels drop, detoxification slows, inflammation increases, and fat can begin to accumulate in the liver. This process can eventually show up in blood work as elevated liver enzymes such as ALT, AST, and GGT. NAC plays an important role because it helps the body produce more glutathione. Instead of directly detoxifying the liver, NAC provides cysteine, a key building block needed for glutathione production. Ben explains the timeline of what may happen during 30 days of NAC supplementation: During the first week, NAC begins increasing glutathione production and supporting antioxidant defenses in liver cells. By weeks two and three, oxidative stress begins to decrease, detox pathways work more efficiently, and mitochondrial function can improve. Around week four, the liver may experience measurable improvements in oxidative stress levels and potentially improvements in liver markers, depending on the individual. The key takeaway is that fatty liver is often driven by cellular stress and inflammation, not just body fat. Supporting the body’s natural antioxidant systems with nutrients like NAC, along with healthy lifestyle habits, can help restore balance and improve liver function. 📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
