I take 500- 1000 mg. of NAC regularly (for 5 years). The brand I take, Jarrow, has this on it's label:
"NAC is a powerful antioxidant amino acid
and a precursor in the body to the critical antioxidant glutathione.
Glutathione exerts a variety of protective effects, including detoxification and intracellular defense against oxidative stress."
My feeling is that all us PWP need as many antioxidants as possible- because of possible particular sensitivities to toxins and because of all the meds and their metabolites in our system. I think of it as taking out the garbage as often as possible.

For what it is worth, I started it two weeks ago and suspended my other supplements temporarily (enzymes and creatine). I am pleased thus far but it could be the others wearing off. |
