Roberta: As far as I can remember, N-acetyl-L-cysteine is the precursor of glutathione. Since people do not believe glutathione is broken down before being absorbed, NAC is recommended. I take both of them. I remember reading somewhere if one takes NAC, it may be a good idea to take lipoic acid (another potent anti-oxidant) at the same time. I do not believe that ALC, L-Taurine and L-glutamate are related to glutathione. Best wishes.
