Isn't it interesting that the FDA warned about NAC during C19, and then Amazon stopped selling it. BUT, when the plandemic was over, Amazon began offering it again.

When using garlic in a recipe; chop fine, add fresh lemon juice leave for 10 minutes and add in the last minute of cooking to your food. This enhances the allicin and sulphur compounds...which in turn will help your system to make NAC and Glutathione. Protein rich foods plus any sulphur rich foods plus Vit C will enhance NAC and Glutathione naturally. Thanks Mike. Happy everything folks. 🥳

Great content! Regardless of the reasons given I think NAC being temporarily pulled during the “pandemic” as more people were purchasing it was no accident. They knew it had multiple benefits.

I started using NAC when I was diagnosed with NAFLD during C19 lockdown and was offered no treatment options. I read a few papers and decided to try it. I hadn’t considered buying NAC in powdered form. NAC was never unavailable here in Canada despite the supply chain issues during C19. The capsules are still pretty cheap, especially once you weigh in the benefits. I use magnesium bisglycinate capsules too. I think I have a good combo going on now. I’m 70+ years old and living young and well with self-managed autoimmune conditions. My rheumatologist tells me I should never stop the NAC and lauds it as a great supplement for seniors. He also encourages the use of cannabis as a wellness adjunct among seniors. This young guy calls it going old school. He’s now also teaching at our closest med school.

Started taking NAC yesterday. Had the best sleep of my life that following night.

Thank you Mike. I’ve been taking NAC since I was given last rites in ICU from Covid 2020. Somehow I pulled through with many many terrible issues. I started taking glycine for diabetes and found out it worked well with NAC for lungs and many other health issues.

I've been taking NAC for well over a decade. Originally for osteoarthritis requiring bilateral hip replacements at a fairly young age. It's beneficial effects have been masked by the other upgrades I've made like like low carb, autoimmune diet. But what I'm reminded of every day is what a great bronchodilator/expectorant low dose NAC taken 3-4 times a day can be. A higher dose taken once a day can cause a little bronchial congestion, but a 300-400 mg dose with meals and at bedtime is better than any inhaler I've tried! All of NAC's beneficial effects are appreciated, but nothing reminds me of it more than being able to breathe easily. I rarely come across any info on NAC that I didn't already know, but I watch every video Mike makes about NAC because I need constant reminders to keep me from taking it for granted. (I watch every video Mike makes no matter the subject, and I learn an immense amount). Thanks, Mike.

I had been taking NAC, glutathione, and glycine every day for months and my levels were ZERO. Turns out, mold toxicity and zero enzymes are being made by my pancreas. I was prescribed antidepressants for 20 years without knowing I had mold toxicity the whole time... I have MTHFR and HLA gene mutations making it impossible for me to methylate and excrete certain biotoxins.

I know we're not talking about it but NAC cleared my lungs that got crazy congested from covid. It definitely treated my lung congestion, no doubt!! I was able to get off my couch without fainting thanks to NAC.

[scottieberryhill]

I take 600 mg in the morning on an empty stomach. It has cured my gut issues pretty much. Unreal! So happy I ran across this.

[coldfire]

Not telling anybody else to do this, but I take about 3 grams of NAC daily and supplement with 2 grams of glycine for liver health (and milk thistle), AST and ALT levels both extremely good at 26, even though taking acetaminophen daily for back injury (ex- competitive bodybuilder) for about 6 years now. I am an endovascular guy, NAC is amazing, actually when patients present to the ER for acetaminophen poisoning, NAC I.V. is first line defense and started to detox liver. Also, I'm a Factor-V, great video BTW

We have been using cysteine since the 1990s when my 7 yo son, who was poisoned with pesticide, had an amino acid test. Both blood and urine were low in cysteine, taurine, and phosphoethanolamine. L-cysteine supplements raised his cysteine and taurine levels to normal and decreased his ongoing symptoms by about 70%. NAC also in Merck Manual for Tylenol poisoning and in NEJM 2006 article for gadolinium induced kidney damage from the contrast for angiograms. Thanks for spreading the information about this most important supplement.

I take NAC and magnesium glycinate at bedtime. Helps my muscles unravel and great sleep

[cathybrown]

I originally started taking NAC at the advice of my therapist to control my trichotillomania. It worked after one week. The added benefit of taking NAC was that it helped with my asthma symptoms and stopped my yearly bronchitis

[melissasmith]

I have suffered with a condition called Trichatillomania (eyelash pulling) since the age of 10. I am now 55. I have been treated with everything under the sun for this condition. NAC has cured this issue. I take 1300 mg twice a day.

I’ve been taking 3 nac tablets a day since 2020. 1 morning 1 afternoon, 1 night, each at 1g. and I haven’t had any major sicknesses. Even the cold and flu, even while being around people who have the flu, I feel like it’s boosted my immune system.

[nicholasfpratt]

Something to consider is that the powdered form of NAC has a shelf life of around 2 months while the capsules have a shelf life of 2 years. I researched this because some NAC bottles I have are nearing the expiration date. Unless you're going to consume all your NAC powder in 2 months the capsules may be a better option.

Thanks, Mike. I'm 70 yrs old and (after 3 vaccinations) I caught the plague in the summer of '22, mild symptoms but had serious respiratory and energy issues well into 2023. Started taking nac and glycine this summer before getting hit with the same virus at Thanksgiving. Again, relatively mild symptoms, BUT I bounced back completely within two weeks with no residual after effects. Makes me wonder if those with long covid wouldn't benefit from NAC. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hi Mike been subbed to your channel for years. Can't remember when you first mentioned glutathione, but it sparked my interest and remember someone said it improved blood flow. Well I used to get very cold fingers in winter - sometimes they would go white. I bought some glutathione tablets and was shocked. Completely cured this. So much so that my hands and fingers are always warm. So thanks.

I take NAC for neuropathy symptoms. It certainly doesn't cure it or take away the pain. It does reduce to pain to an almost manageable level though. I stopped taking it for a while and the pain got much, much worse. I started taking it again and the pain is reduced. I started giving it to my 2 autistic kids when they were sick. Not sure if it helped them feel better sooner or not but it has improved their moods significantly so they still take daily.
