GREAT for congestion

This is a great product if you tend to get lung congestion from allergies or end up with a bad chest cold/congestion, or if you have respiratory influenza. I have researched the side effects, and believe me, that took a little doing for *oral* acetyl-cysteine. Acetyl-cysteine is used in nebulizer treatments for people with pneumonia / severe respiratory congestion. It works very well to thin secretions so that they can be coughed out and breathing becomes easier. However, the nebulizer treatments stink (and taste) like rotten eggs. I got this because the smell and taste of the nebulizer treatments would make me throw up within just a few minutes. I had to time my eating so that nebulizer treatments were at least two hours after I had eaten. Taking the oral form is better, for me because there's no nausea involved. There are some contraindications if you have low blood pressure or take nitroglycerin for a heart condition. So, if I get a little congested I take this. If I'm a lot congested - pneumonia-like, well then, I have to do a neb treatment. I have both on hand. Take with food and don't exceed the maximum dosage. From one study I saw, 600 mg, twice a day, was the max. As it can be irritating on the stomach, take with food only.

Cured my Trich and I only took it for 3 ...

Cured my Trich and I only took it for 3 months. Been pull free for 2 years now. No other methods or meds were used. Just the NAC.

Helps My Son's Vocal Tics TS

High quality product. My son and I take these daily for immune system health. Also, it helps my son who has Tourettes, when he has a flare up of vocal tics. I don't know how it all works, but I know that the immune system is vital in importance for all of us. I know vitamins like this increase Glutathione levels in the brain, which is what helps rid my son of his vocal tics at times. If they are really bad, N.A. Carnitine helps him also. Elderberry Syrup also helps get rid of lots of his physical tics. Hope this helps someone. NAC is an amazing vitamin.

If you don't get enough sleep or have liver issues then this is a life saver - it is, was or me!

If you have liver or kidney problems this is a life saver! I has been for me, personal experience! NAC is the key ingredient for detoxification for the liver - that is, without this, your liver cannot do it's job well. For a normal person, this is not an issue. BUT - when your liver function is compromised, or you are in a special condition - such as PROLONGED LACK OF SLEEP, this is tremendous help for your liver to do its job. My experience is that for a month I had extreme lack of sleep, combined with extreme workload: hard physical labor from early morning to 2AM, every day, 7 days a week. I was taking 2 of these capsules before going to sleep. It kept me healthy and rested. When I forgot to take it, the next day I was not rested and extremely tired.

It just WORKS

My partner has had some behaviors since childhood that haven't ever been diagnosed (skin-picking, OCD tendencies, and tics/shakes that seem like autism-related) and after seeing a ton of different doctors throughout his life, a behaviorist recently suggested NAC. He started with 600mg/day and increased to twice a day with no negative side effects. He noticed ALL of his behaviors decrease within days and when he misses a day, he is very aware of the difference. He is still experimenting with dosage and timing, but so far, this is basically the "cure" we'd been looking for!!

Found this helpul for my trichotillomania!!!!!

I have been a Trich sufferer for as long as I can remember. I am now in my mid-forties and found that I was losing all control. I was a distraction to myself!!! I have tried behavior therapy, sitting on my hands, stress balls, fidgets, etc. and nothing ever worked for long. I just found out about NAC a couple of weeks ago. I decided to begin it after reading reviews of others with Trich and the success they experienced. I took just one a day for two days and saw no difference. When I increased to two a day is when I began to notice a change. I began to realize I wasn't searching for the next "fix" of my hair pulling. I only pulled maybe three hairs in the first week...which is HUGE because I could pull hundreds while watching one television program. I then increased it to three-a-day once I knew I was handling the supplement well. I realize I am only into my second full week but I cannot tell you the difference it has made. I am actually feeling liberated from the constant desire to pull. I can now feel my hair and respond to the "don't pull" signal. I am praying that this is the answer for helping me with this disorder I have battled for so long. It has become exciting to look in the mirror and see eyelashes growing and to realize I went a whole episode of a television program and didn't pull once - or desire to do so. I have only begun the research into this, but with the results I am experiencing it is definitely worth any Trich sufferers to TRY IT!

Vitamin C would have been cheaper

The human body makes cysteine out of vitamin C. I took this cause bullet proof gurus raged about how taking this was great to help with liver boosters or liver enzymes. I think I read that cysteine from vitamin C creates the fat which makes your face look nice and not wrinkly.

Great for Bronchitis Suffferers!

It works fast, within 1 hour minimum, to break up congestion and allow you to expectorate when you have bronchitis and are unable to do so. Great product to have on hand!

and I had a bad pulling fit that day

As long as I remember to take it (I can notice a difference when I do) my hair-pulling habits go WAY down. I have substantially fewer bald spots and the desire is far less obsessive. I now have eyelashes! WARNING: if you drink a lot of alcohol or even alcohol regularly, and you are taking this to reduce your trichotillomania symptoms, the NAC will not be as effective. A lot of people take NAC to avoid hangovers, and I think it depletes the amount in your system that otherwise would be going to managing your symptoms. I experienced this first hand after I had been using NAC for around 5 months. I went to a tasting event were we had a lot of wine and whiskey, and the next day, I took my NAC, still recovering from the previous night, and I had a bad pulling fit that day, something I hadn't done since I started taking NAC. Initially, I didn't make the connection. But this happened a second time and a third time, all after a night out, so I am very cautious about my intake now, because more than a little bit of alcohol and I have a fit next day. Otherwise IT WORKS AWESOME.

Lowers ESTROGEN in women & men!

Most people don’t know this, but NAC reduces bad Estrogen and flushes it out. I found out I was Estrogen dominant, (many of us have bad Estrogen). Well, NAC is a huge body detoxing supplement. As it cleans out our liver, that’s how it filters out the bad hormones, & anything else that NAC recognizes as a toxic “invader”. My only advice is to go slowly. 1 capsule for the first 2 weeks, then increase. This will prevent you from having any detox symptoms. Hope this helps. :)
