Hi Siobhan
As far as we are aware the website address you gave is the only supplier of supplemental gamma-glutamylcysteine in the world. Regarding your question on NAC please see our article on why NAC cannot increase cellular glutathione levels https://www.glutathionereporter.com/n-acetylcysteine-nac-cannot-increase-cellular-glutathione-levels/

I found this source, but it was expensive! https://www.continualg.com/buy-now#buynow

Also, you mentioned that N-acetylcysteine can’t increase glutathione levels unless the person’s levels are depleted.
Several years ago I began supplementing with one 600mg capsule of N-Acetylcysteine daily because I had an elevated homocysteine level. Very quickly after supplementing in this manner, my homocysteine level dropped to well within the normal range. So most likely I had low glutathione levels prior to supplementation.
According to Dr. Alex Vasquez, N-acetylcysteine doesn’t prevent viral entry into the cell, but it prevents viral replication once the virus has entered the cell, and he shared a study of elderly nursing home patients who benefited from twice daily 600mg doses of N-Acetylcysteine in that they did not develop influenza infection.
