Should you take it every day or is long-term dosing harmful in anyway?

Dr. Turner supports everyday use, and I take it daily.

I’ve also read you shouldn’t take it daily but can’t remember the rationale.

I read about that too, but I understand that some people with psychological problems take it, but in large amounts (like 3 times the normal dose of 600). Then it’s advised to build in stop weeks. I’m no medic, so I can’t give medical advice, only sharing what I’ve read about it.

Interesante; pienso que sería util también incluir en esta serie efectos no deseados como contraindicaciones e interacciones

Buen trabajo.

Un saludo.

Would you please recommend a quality company from which to order? Life Extension bottles of NAC smell pungent and “off” - like sauerkraut. Is that to be expected?

Thank you!

I read an article which discussed (something along the lines of) NAC causing the mercury in the fillings to more easily release into the body, crossing the blood/ brain barrier. Perhaps the mercury already does this already without the NAC. I've also read that the mercury in the dental amalgam fillings is a type of in organic mercury, and that NAC does not bind to it, thereby not causing any problems.

I have taken NAC for more than a year now, along with other anti-inflamatory supplements (C, turmeric, famatodine), and I feel really good. A lot of the daily aches and pains are gone and my energy level is way up.

Thank you for this "reminder". I happen to have an empty stomach now and bottles of NAC I purchased at the time research was published showing NAC was worth a try for covid treatment.

When that research was published I was not surprised with the coincidental "fda" action intent on pulling it off the shelves. As I remember the "fda" used a "cover story" saying that NAC was first a prescription drug and thus could be regulated by the "fda" and of course sold by some big pharma entity paying the "fda" for its "oversight".

The "captured" "fda" working to keep covid treatment options from the people while working to "game" the system for big pharma profit and, of course, the "fda" share of the "take".

Is there any contraindication for taking NAC for someone with mercury amalgam dental fillings?

Why would there be?

Unmentioned is that NAC is a potent bloodthinner and should be used with caution by people on bloodthinners.

I’ve also seen higher dose NAC recommended for kicking addictions. Surprised that wasn’t included.

Long time follower. I saw your postings about NAC and would appreciate links to clinical studies that support the claims (bullets). Thanks
