Sorry, I don't know the meaning of "die off" in this context.

My wife (Fibro) and I (PN) have been taking NAC for many years now. We can't say it's helping either of our conditions directly/noticeably, but it is a powerful antioxidant, and may be helping behind the scenes (so to speak). It certainly couldn't hurt.

I recommend it to anyone who takes acetaminophen or acetaminophen-containing medications (percocet, vicodin, etc.) on a regular basis to protect the liver from the damaging effects.
