Overview
Santa Cruz Paleo's NAC + ALA Caps pair N-Acetyl Cysteine with alpha lipoic acid in a single unflavored capsule, sold in a 60-capsule bottle. The formula is labeled gluten free, keto and paleo, which sets it apart from many NAC products that do not call out diet compatibility.
The maker markets this combination as an antioxidant complex meant to support cellular health and nutrient balance. These are manufacturer-stated goals framed as claims, not medical outcomes, and the product has not been evaluated by the FDA.
Despite having a smaller review count than many established NAC brands, it carries a strong average rating, suggesting the buyers who have tried it are largely satisfied.

Frequently asked questions
What is alpha lipoic acid doing alongside the NAC?
Alpha lipoic acid is another antioxidant compound the maker pairs with N-Acetyl Cysteine in this formula. The combination is marketed for cellular support and nutrient balance, which are label claims rather than medical outcomes.
Is this suitable for a keto or paleo diet?
The product is labeled gluten free, keto and paleo, which is a callout many NAC supplements do not make. Still, it's worth checking the full ingredient panel against your specific diet plan.
How many capsules are in a bottle?
The bottle contains 60 capsules according to the product listing. Follow the label's serving guidance, and check with a healthcare professional if you are combining it with other supplements.
