Good company, helpful for ME/CFS
I have ME/CFS and I’ve been taking this supplement for a month and a half to help counter brain inflammation. NAC is the precursor to glutathione, a powerful anti-inflammatory that can cross the blood/brain barrier. However, glutathione is destroyed in the gut when taken orally. NAC is not and can be used by the body to make glutathione. Within just 3 days of taking this at 500 mg once a day, I noticed a difference. Over the first month my brain fog improved and I no longer have that brain on fire feeling unless I overdo it. I went from only being able to read or watch a screen for 5 minutes at a time to being able to tolerate a couple hours. This has significantly improved my quality of life. I started taking 1000 mg once a day about two weeks ago and feel a little more improvement but not comparable to the first dosage. Talk to your doctor before taking ANY supplement. This one can cause kidney stones to form if you don’t drink enough water. It can also cause headache - I experienced this the first couple of days and then it went away. This company was recommended to me by a fellow patient. They are excellent in packaging the bottle and even included a cold pack to keep it cool in transit. The capsules have a very slight sulphuric smell and that is normal. It’s never bothered me.
