    Isn't it interesting that the FDA warned about NAC during C19, and then Amazon stopped selling it. BUT, when the plandemic was over, Amazon began offering it again.

    When using garlic in a recipe; chop fine, add fresh lemon juice leave for 10 minutes and add in the last minute of cooking to your food. This enhances the allicin and sulphur compounds...which in turn will help your system to make NAC and Glutathione. Protein rich foods plus any sulphur rich foods plus Vit C will enhance NAC and Glutathione naturally. Thanks Mike. Happy everything folks. 🥳

L-cysteine supplements raised his cysteine and taurine levels to normal and decreased his ongoing symptoms by about 70%.

    I've been taking NAC for well over a decade. Originally for osteoarthritis requiring bilateral hip replacements at a fairly young age. It's beneficial effects have been masked by the other upgrades I've made like like low carb, autoimmune diet. But what I'm reminded of every day is what a great bronchodilator/expectorant low dose NAC taken 3-4 times a day can be. A higher dose taken once a day can cause a little bronchial congestion, but a 300-400 mg dose with meals and at bedtime is better than any inhaler I've tried! All of NAC's beneficial effects are appreciated, but nothing reminds me of it more than being able to breathe easily. I rarely come across any info on NAC that I didn't already know, but I watch every video Mike makes about NAC because I need constant reminders to keep me from taking it for granted. (I watch every video Mike makes no matter the subject, and I learn an immense amount). Thanks, Mike.

But if you have liver issues its best to take it regularly. Tudca if you look up has really good reviews too for the liver. Dandelion is good for the liver and Artichoke as herbal supplements.
      If you want a product with Immune boosting ingredients that is good for the liver all in one ingredients that my sister uses who has very high liver enzymes is Immune Stay by Xtend-life . That company makes very high quality products and can cover many health issues using scientific research and they manufacture their own products unlike most supplements companies and are FDA and GMP register and have third party quality test.

    Something to consider is that the powdered form of NAC has a shelf life of around 2 months while the capsules have a shelf life of 2 years. I researched this because some NAC bottles I have are nearing the expiration date. Unless you're going to consume all your NAC powder in 2 months the capsules may be a better option.

    I started using NAC when I was diagnosed with NAFLD during C19 lockdown and was offered no treatment options. I read a few papers and decided to try it. I hadn’t considered buying NAC in powdered form. NAC was never unavailable here in Canada despite the supply chain issues during C19. The capsules are still pretty cheap, especially once you weigh in the benefits. I use magnesium bisglycinate capsules too. I think I have a good combo going on now. I’m 70+ years old and living young and well with self-managed autoimmune conditions. My rheumatologist tells me I should never stop the NAC and lauds it as a great supplement for seniors. He also encourages the use of cannabis as a wellness adjunct among seniors. This young guy calls it going old school. He’s now also teaching at our closest med school.

Started taking nac and glycine this summer before getting hit with the same virus at Thanksgiving. Again, relatively mild symptoms, BUT I bounced back completely within two weeks with no residual after effects. Makes me wonder if those with long covid wouldn't benefit from NAC.

I stopped taking it for a while and the pain got much, much worse. I started taking it again and the pain is reduced. I started giving it to my 2 autistic kids when they were sick. Not sure if it helped them feel better sooner or not but it has improved their moods significantly so they still take daily.

Other than that walking is a good therapy for anxiety. I know what panic attacks are like too well and hope you will find something that is not pharmaceutical that helps as they tend to get addictive. Counseling is good too .

What I learned over the years is the longer the state of panic attacks or anxiety continues the longer the recovery is! Which is why it's important to take action fast whenever you notice it . Often stress is the culprit, but what most people don't realise is that stress builds overtime and doesn't happen overnight to cause anxiety unless something really spooked you .
      Get plenty of daylight which will help you sleep better and stay active walking etc . Healthy foods can help too , and omega 3 and magnesium. If you do ever feel it's not enough having Serene Saffron just in your drawer alone is comforting as it is the best thing for this out there in my experience since 2007!

    Much like calcifediol can ramp up D3 in 4-5 hours instead of days (as was used for Covid in Spain) Liposomal GSH is in the marketplace for those who are in dire straits, or who don't process NAC into GSH for whatever reason(s).

    I took NAC when I had covid and it really cleared out my congestion. I was able to find it at the vitamin shoppe and I've kept taking it because of its health benefits. I also have had a pulmonary embolism many years ago. I was prescribed a daily aspirin a day but I think the NAC is a better choice! Thank you for this information!

    Great video, here is a summary
    NAC and Glutathione Overview:
    The video discusses the health benefits of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and its role as a precursor to glutathione.
    Glutathione is emphasized as crucial for overall health, particularly in the context of infections, including its antioxidant properties and potential benefits during viral infections like COVID-19.
    Mechanisms of Action:
    NAC is highlighted for its ability to increase glutathione levels by providing cysteine, the rate-limiting amino acid for glutathione synthesis.
    The discussion includes the role of glutathione in neutralizing oxidative stress and its potential impact on the clotting cascade during infections.
    Benefits During Infections:
    The video presents evidence suggesting that NAC treatment can reduce mortality in severe COVID-19 cases, improve blood oxygen ratios, and decrease markers of inflammation and clotting.
    Dosage and Timing Recommendations:
    Recommended NAC dosage ranges between 800 and 1600 milligrams, preferably taken at night.
    Timing considerations include post-infection periods, after prolonged sitting or travel, and evenings, aligning with the concept of chrononutrition.
    Comparison with Glutathione Supplements:
    The video compares the cost-effectiveness of NAC as a precursor to glutathione against direct glutathione supplements, suggesting potential savings with NAC while achieving similar results.

    Its also the precursor for ceruloplasmin, which is the primary mobilizer of copper. Half of more of the general population is copper toxic ( JOM ) and so NAC + mild zinc supplementation will slowly drop copper toxicity in tissues.

It was possibly from resveratrol since I was intermittently taking it at the same time but I'm pretty sure it was from NAC. Same thing happened with macadamia nuts. It can shut down the inflammatory reaction needed to repair tissue after damage from workouts. They did a study on this and found that it significantly reduced recovery of athletes. Be careful and be aware. Apparently this doesn't happen to everyone.

Started taking it 30 to 36 hours apart which worked for a couple of weeks. Then had a massive reaction to it leading to massive inflammation and infection markers on blood tests, 10 days of delirium, lost 11 KG (what muscle I had retained)Symptoms of bronchial infection, but definitely triggered by NAC. Am devastated. Made such a difference to my life. Now am back to feeling terrible all the time. This has gone on for decades. No one knows whats wrong with me.
