Hi all. Wondering if anyone is taking NAC and how much? Also what have been your benefits/problems with it?

Thanks

I have used it on and off. It was one of those supplements that I couldn't tell if there was a benefit or not. It's now on my drop list.

I took (2) 500mg capsule 2x/day

I also took it but no longer do.

It helps the body synthesize glutathione but who can tell if your body is doing that?

Finished one big bottle. Felt nothing even at 5 grams. I prefer LIPO Glutathione.

When I thought I had mycoplasma I took it for the mucous and cough. I can't tell if it was that or the culmination of the mushrooms. But I did get better.

My Mom has idiopathic lung disease and her pulmonologist had her take that.

I just read that it can help with tinnitus and if hubby's tinnitus shows up again, it is on the list for him to take.

I take it morning and night. I like it - just my gut feeling.

Thanks guys. My doctor suggested it yesterday as an overall antioxidant and the fact that it has many benefits. I was taking lipo glutathione when I stopped the pushes. I take the lipo glutathione now when I remember.

I have been taking NAC for years, 2x 500mg. Originally I started taking it as general antioxidant but now I know I have lyme surely I carry on. Never caused any problems.

I took it for several months...but it ended up on my 'cut' list and don't take it anymore.

I had to pare my list down...just too many pills/capsules to swallow...and that one was one on the chopping block.

Silver light do you feel as though it has helped you? I know that often we can't tell if something is helping or not.

I am researching and Dr. Weil says Ginkgo Biloba is probably a better supplement for tinnitus, which hubby is already taking. So far hubby hasn't started it yet. His tinnitus is one of those come and go lyme symptoms and not swayed by anything other than the longer he treats, the longer the stretches are without tinnitus.

It does depend on the cause of the tinnitus - is it blood flow? Is it nerve inflammation? is it inner ear damage?

I believe gingko would be good at helping with blood circulation issues.

Ok gingko it is☺️

Buhner says it is a cytokine modulator, biofilm buster, and organ protector. I've taken 2000 MG /day since I got sick in September. I started taking it when I read teitelbaum's book from fatigued to fantastic. I only take it because some say it's helpful for glutathione production. Can't say I feel fantastic, I may drop it when I run out.

I took it for 1yr & 1/2. It, I BELIEVE, cleared up myco p. In my lungs because I no longer have tbat wiggly vibration with a deep breath!

Both my LLND's highly recommend it.

So I guess for those that stopped it, you didn't feel any different when you stopped. Like you didnt feel any worse.
Posted 4/13/2017 7:37 PM (GMT -5)
I didn't feel any different when I stopped.

But there are so many supplements we take that are good for us - but we don't feel anything when we take them...or when we stop.

Calcium, Vitamin C, Hawthorne, CoQ10 - thats just a few of the ones that I don't feel any different on them...or off them.

I don't remember feeling any different when stopping
