They tried to make NAC require an RX because people were using it to treat Covid-19, they followed 12 patients in CCU get IV NAC 11 dc’d home and the study ended before an outcome on 12th pt was documented. For some reason they didn’t want anyone treating Covid before they were desperately ill and hospitalized and then they gave them a failed drug called Remdesivir. It seems to go beyond wanting to get a vaccine quickly approved.

I had a very weird exp with NAC. the first time I tried it I took 1200 mg and my arthritis pain disappeared as if I never had it. I felt years younger. It didn't last permanently but it was incredible. The second strange experience was when my back was in a severe pain state. I have a bad back that "goes out" regularly. I was incapacitated for two whole months I was beginning to lose hope. I decided to start taking NAC again after previously stopping it. Within hours the agony I was in for months completely disappeared! I had taken pain meds and done everything recommended and nothing helped until I took that nac. I know others have different experiences but for me this stuff is magic.
I started taking it during C, it comes in a good lung health formula, cut back to a minimum dose after that but maybe I’ll increase for a while to see how it helps my bulging disc pain.
99.7+ % S.R. Those at high risk for that flu had comorbidities. Your NAC was most likely just one factor contributing towards your healthy terrain. I would guess your D levels were optimal as well.

Try oregano oil. Since I started taking it it's been over 2 years and no flu, cold, etc. Maybe a tickle in the throat, double up the oregano oil and it's gone.

I took high doses of NAC (2 -4g daily) when I quit vaping last year. I believe it made it about 15-20% easier to quit compared to times previous. I'm no doctor but I would recommend giving it a shot to anyone struggling with nicotine addiction. Good luck!
Same here it help me quit smoking tobacco combined with weed I’ve tried many times before could never get passed 2 weeks now I’m 3 months clean would be 5 months but I slipped up at a festival but had no trouble stopping again after that. I was taking 1200-2400mg daily definitely helped
Good for you for quitting vaping; so proud of you. I think organic dandelion tea and local wild honey might help too. I drink that a lot and got sick only once in the last 12 years, and I am almost 60. i think I have been sick with a fever/ flu maybe 5 times in my life. I never drank alcohol or smoked and ate what I thought was healthy but always had too much sugar. You are inspiring me to cutting off sugar, except for a tsp. of local honey. Keep it up, you will be so glad you did.
It was fascinating that the fda suddenly didn’t like it during the pandemic. Like they suddenly hated Ivermectin, which had been awarded a Nobel Prize in 2016 for its life-saving impacts around the world. Like they suddenly hated Hydroxychloroquine. A critical thinker might wonder why.
Literally three days before the first lock down in NZ Ivermectin suddenly changed from over the counter to doctor's prescription only (and good luck with that!) and NAC which had been readily available in pharmacists, health food stores and online vanished. What a coincidence!
They figured it was easier to just restrict access to it than figure out how to create a new structure that allowed them to make money from controlling it.
I would caution people don’t stay on it for long periods. No more than a few months at a time max for some. It is a mucolytic and can therefore strip the lung and gut mucus lining too much. Also some people have sulfur sensitivities. Just exercise caution and listen to your body. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s always totally harmless. I stayed on it too long and it messed me up a bit.
That's unfortunate and good to know. I have all sorts of issues i take it for however I have extreme sinus crap so I never seem to get rid of enough mucus
I’ve been on it for a year now per my functional medicine doctor. I have no problems with it. I take 1200 mg on an empty stomach one morning and one at night.

Be sure to take with enough water. First couple times, not enough water. Knife like pain & nausea. Now, on an empty stomach, about 4 oz. of water and I have no issues. :- )
I suffered from shallow breathing since having the original pneumonia covid-19 in October of 2019, and recently, after only a few days of NAC, I began taking full breathes naturally. So great.

Double mutated MTHFR over here!!! Lack of Glut production!!! NAC was a major contributor to my healing after I was FLOXED, after a round of Cipro. Thank you for this additional information!! God bless!!
I bought 400 G's of powder when the feds wanted to restrict it, after having read Pub Med studies regarding Rona #1. Maybe that's why I never caught #2, but in using it consistently I found that I no longer had lifelong UTI's, my digestive/excretory systems worked better, and my anxiety and obsessive tendencies waned. That was 700mg/day for about two years. About a month ago, I started taking it again and noticed this time around an immediate lighter, slightly more energetic feeling and have been meaning to look into if it crosses the blood-brain barrier.
NAC caused my blood pressure to drop too low. Before starting NAC, I had normal blood pressure that's always around 118/70, and when I started taking it, every time I went from laying down to a standing position I got extremely dizzy. I only took NAC for a week as a result. The dizziness when standing up after laying down disappeared after stopping NAC.
I took it everyday for about a month and ended up with a complete lack of affect. Took another 2 weeks to detox. I now only take it 1x per week, and do feel benefits.
Doc. Good information. I take NAC w Glycine & Hawthorne. Said to improve Heart Function. With CHF - EF of 21 I need whatever help I can get to stretch my heart out for as long as I can. Unfortunately only thing left is LVAD, however I don't have the requisite support team. Again Good Video. 👍 Best
Yep! I NEVER take any NAC supplements. And the NAD or NAD + ones are ludicrous also! I take Moringa organic capsule supplements because it is natural & it has all these minerals.
I include nac and heparzine in my supplement line. If the pharmaceutical controlled FDA states something is bad i usually do the opposite. Not blindly of course as i do have my due diligence.
I take NAC every day & did when I smoked as well (which I quit a long time ago) & it helped me tremendously until I was ready to quit. I take it on an empty stomach with glycine & bromelain. The bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme & I heard that NAC & bromelain together help with blood clotting from the C*VID shots. I did not get the shots but I was around a lot of people who did. NAC works!
Crab owner here. You must def explain cancer prevention?? I have different information. Mainly in some cases its not good for tumors. So i stopped for now taking NAC.
Be careful, mainstream medicine loves cancer, big $$$. They wint tell u to cut out sugar either even tho theres ample evidence that tumors thrive on high carb diet
I had a bad post-covid cough for 3 years. I started taking 600mg NAC, 2x a day and by the 3rd week my cough was all but gone! By week 6 it was 100% GONE!
I've have some joint injuries and surgeries specifically knee and shoulder and was taking NAC and I had an incredible amount of stiffness and pain while taking it . When I stopped taking it those symptoms went away. That sucks because it does so many good things but when you can't hardly walk you can't take it.
The dr said to take NAC before taking any scan with contrast dye, cause the dye is bad for your kidneys but NAC helps protect your kidneys from the dye. That's how I first learned of NAC.
I have kidney disease and started taking gly nac with r ala starting about 9 months ago. Separately, I also take NR with tmg and apigenin. I've reversed about 5 years of damage to my kidneys in that short time. I also been doing red light therapy, but only about once per week.
@@bonniejeannetucker6992 you can search them online, there's a lot of info. My gfr was in 3a range, now it's back to stage 2. GlyNAC and r-ala should be taken on empty stomach. I take the other stuff with food. I take each about 4 or 5 times a week. I take half dose of NR (350 mg). Age is 44
My kidneys went down to 3A. Pill pushing Doctor wanted to put me on for Farxiga. I went online and found out I was not drinking enough water. I started drinking half my body weight in ounces. So 70 ounces a day because I weigh 140 pounds. Took a year but my tests showed it went from 52.7 up to 61.
Stimulating and boosting cellular production of Glutathione is indeed highly effective. Glycine combined with N-Acetyl Cysteine at a 2 to 1 ratio (3000mg and 1800mg) will produce significant results starting after 2 months with full effects at 4.
video of the year was just researching about NAC as I had some gut issues but that is fine now but helps with mucus amongst the most amazing benefits you listed ... Thanx Dr. Nick :)
NAC is being used by a ER doctor I know. He told me he took it the colder months when the flu is around the corner to prevent getting sick. I started doing the same from October to February I take it daily 2x 600mg. Been doing that for 3 years now. That stuff is amazing! My body does a speedrun on influenza now! Where I normally would be sick 4 to 7 days Now it's done within 2 days and the severity is way way less. Instead of feeling like I'm dying from man flu like I always did I just experience a mild inconvenience now.
HOW'S IT GOING DR NICK? REVERIE INFORMATIVE VIDEO ABOUT NAC! MY QUESTION FOR YOU DR NICK , IS IT SAFE TO TAKE NAC SUPPLEMENTS IF YOU HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE OLDER WHO ARE ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION?
Hey Doc, is it safe to take NAC with other Vitamins and Supplements like Turmeric and Moringa and Omega 3, just got my 1st bottle im ready to start !!! Thank You for the Info 🙏
NAC is water soluble. Omega 3 isn't. You NEED to fake fat soluble nutrients with additional fat. That little fat in the omega 3 supplement itself is not enough to activate your fat metabolism. But that is necessary to absorb Omega 3 fatty acids. There are many people who wasted all their Omega 3 taking it on an empty stomach or with water.
My water pH is 6.24 and makes me nauseous if I drink it plain. For years I would add apple cider vinegar (3.96) or lemon to make it more acidic. NAC makes it 2.81 and actually helps my digestion. It cleared my lungs of a deep infection I had all winter long. I'm taking it because it was recommended by Dr. Sean Omara (on youtube) for getting rid of visceral fat. I'm carnivore.
Same. Fun fact: Magnesium Gylcinate, B Complex, even Wheat Juice Powder does this. The supplement industry is quite scarey tbh. 200mg of Magnesium Gylcinate nearly sent me to the ER and was unwell for days, yes days afterwards. 💡
I can't say for sure what symptoms taking 3G NAC the past month have improved, the benefits mentioned do seem to be happening a little bit, but I'm about 99% sure I know it helped with a cold that was going around my house. Everyone had mucus buildup and runny noses. I got a sore throat for about a day and then no runny nose. I wasn't stuffed up, I could breathe unimpeded.
Am VERY disappointed that the NAC for which you provide a link does not show the list of Other Ingredients. They only share what is not in the supplement. I will only purchase supplements that are transparent with their Other Ingredients because this list is an indication of the quality of ingredients in the supplement.
I went to the site he linked and it took me a few minutes to even find a picture of the label. Serving size is 2 caps, 1.2 g N-Acetyl-Cysteine Other ingredients: HPMC(capsule),stearic acid, Magnesium stearate, and silica
@Irishangel831 I always look at the "Other" ingredients also. I steer clear of magnesium stearate, stearic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, & titanium dioxide. It used to be that mg stearate was bad but now it seems to be okay but I'm not buying it.
It dilutes the blood vessels thus induces your blood circulation & all nutrients gets to their destinations. An easier flow of energy.A photon excellerator/communicater.😊
I agree. This is the most straightforward, uncluttered, clearly stated presentation I have ever seen. This man has set a new standard, others must meet, or perish. Very impressive.
Hi Dr Nick, thanks for this information! Question though... NAC can cause (silent) acid reflux. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening? (Apart from not taking NAC 😅)
Not a dr. Just what I use. Bob's red mill baking soda (because it is processed differently than the others) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in a glass, well, more like 24-28 oz., of water that I drink some before bed and if I wake up in the night I will take a few more swallows then finish it before I eat anything in the morning. I'm not someone who wakes up hungry so I don't eat for an hour or two after finishing it. If I'm consistent with this, I don't get much if any heart burn or other digestive upsets. Store brands and the "other" brand do not work as well for me.
@@leahroper2673 ingnesting anything alkaline is retarded as it neutralizes even the small amounts of HCL you may have left. the trouble is, people including the cocktors, don't understand that reflux is caused by too little HCL, as nobody has too much of it.
I started taking NAC as a mucolytic for my respiratory system, but then I read some studies where it was found that it caused lung cancer. Since I had lung cancer (never smoked) I stopped.. any thoughts on that?
NAC definitely does not cause lung cancer! but if you are concerned about lung cancer i would supplement black seed oil, mullein leaf, and soursop leaf
I had a heart attack in Dec. 28. My heart is actually feeling pretty good since they put the stent in. I’m curious if I can take it while on a blood thinner?
Dr. Google says not to take NAC while on blood thinners because it may slow blood clotting. Also, if someone has asthma or bleeding problems. Actually there is SO MUCH information on who should NOT take it that I encourage EVERYONE to do extensive research if they're considering this supplement. 😊
One compelling side effect of NAC that could be a significant deal-breaker for some is its potential to dampen happiness or flatten one's mood. This phenomenon isn't just about feeling less joy; it could subtly shift how we perceive life's highs and lows, potentially stripping away the vibrancy from daily experiences. Imagine the irony of a supplement meant to support mental health inadvertently turning the world into a less colorful place, where even the peaks of happiness seem muted. This effect might resonate differently across individuals, with those who cherish emotional depth or rely on peak experiences for motivation finding it particularly challenging. It opens up a broader discussion on the balance between mental health benefits and the cost of emotional richness.
I already feel like that. It'll be interesting to see if the blahness goes away or gets worse. I have chronic allergies and can't tolerate the allergy shots' side effects, so I'm trying this. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences so I know what to look for as I get started.
Any time something is supposed to be a magic bullet that seems to treat everything, one should distrust the claims and anyone who pushes you to use it.
I took NAC last year because I had "Walking Pneumonia" for about 12 weeks! Didn't seem to work for me. Got rid of the infection after taking "Cipro". I belive it has other benefits.
Yikes. Cipro is overkill and super toxic- watch your ligaments in the future. Ciproflaxin should be avoided at all costs. Use simpler, safer, older antibiotics first.
I’ve been taking it for over 5 years now, maybe even 10, with doses around 2 grams per day to achieve a satisfactory effect on mucus, asthma, and related issues. I haven’t noticed any harmful effects so far. I even increased the dose to 3 grams since I got flu. Do you think it’s okay to continue this regularly? Could such a high dose become toxic over time?
If you're really concerned with respiratory related issues like mucus & phlegm, sinusitis etc also look into Serrapeptase--a real steam engine to deter these conditions. Works to help lessen migraines as well. 🌹
@@RaechelleBennett782 Thanks, I have tried also that, did not work as expected. Tried various products. I do not have 24/7 problems, mainly when allergy seasons begin or I get like now flu or some other virrosis or bronchitis. The best so far have been NAC and reishi (mostly using powdered version).
if you have "asthma" you need to deworm with fenbendazole or albendazole. asthma is caused by ascaris worms. take 2x400mg of albendazole twice daily with fat. then 12-14 days break and another 5 day cycle, best when coupled with ivermectin.
-It doesn't cause cancer, it *may* empower certain cancers if you have it. Someone else did a video on NAC and cancer. I forget his name. -NAC-induced anhedonia is a very real thing. Don't take it for long periods of time. Anhedonia is like depression, but not literal depression. It isn't a fun time. I had it before. It took close to two weeks to get back to normal
I have been taking NAC for years, but lately, I have been skipping my supplementation because I would forget to take the NAC with meals. So hearing that it is best to take on an empty stomach may now make me remember to take it prior to my brunch, my first meal of two for the day. I also take Glutathione though, and am wondering if I need to if I take NAC? I take the Glutathione on an empty stomach before my brunch along with a probiotic and an enzyme formula. Supplementation is one of the most confusing things to understand. There are so many variables and one does not know what to mix with what. Please make a video on what vitamins/minerals go or clash with one another and when to take them. Thank you for your explanations.
It doesn’t increase cancer tumors - it protects cells- including cancer cells. That’s the theory Jane McClelland’s book offers, anyway. If you have cancer, avoid it.

I read that kefir & kombucha have higher number of bacterial strains than yogurt. You can also use high Q probiotic to innoculate your culture to resolve this
Thanks doc, been taking it for 4 years now!
Thank you for the information on NAC, appreciate! Greetings from Germany
Double mutated MTHFR over here!!! Lack of Glut production!!! NAC was a major contributor to my healing after I was FLOXED, after a round of Cipro. Thank you for this additional information!! God bless!!
What dosage did u take?
Same here with MTHFR, thank you for reply.
Oh yeah I was on that stuff for years for interstitial cystitis.
They never said a word about this.
I found out years later
This is my Favorite supplement I’ve been taking for over 10 years along with NAC take TMG with it they go hand in hand .
*Foods:*
* Poultry
* Eggs
* Yogurt
* Cheese
* Sunflower Seeds
* Legumes
Also consider Glycine
I take a combo capsule of NAC and glycine.
I supplement with glutathione because NAC may not be absorbed. It's better to skip the precursor if you can .😊
I bought 400 G's of powder when the feds wanted to restrict it, after having read Pub Med studies regarding Rona #1. Maybe that's why I never caught #2, but in using it consistently I found that I no longer had lifelong UTI's, my digestive/excretory systems worked better, and my anxiety and obsessive tendencies waned. That was 700mg/day for about two years. About a month ago, I started taking it again and noticed this time around an immediate lighter, slightly more energetic feeling and have been meaning to look into if it crosses the blood-brain barrier.
Taking NAC in the morning on an empty stomach does mostly make me feel nauseous for 10-15 minutes.
I take it after I eat. Almost anything I take on an empty stomach makes me nauseous.
boof it
I take it about an hour after I eat, if I take it on an empty stomach I'm nauseous for hours.
Eat light immediately after taking, works for me
Maybe change brands. You might be taking one with toxic ingredients in it.
Taking NAC from time to time i can feel its benefits and didn't get sick takeing it since 2021.
NAC caused my blood pressure to drop too low. Before starting NAC, I had normal blood pressure that's always around 118/70, and when I started taking it, every time I went from laying down to a standing position I got extremely dizzy. I only took NAC for a week as a result. The dizziness when standing up after laying down disappeared after stopping NAC.
Sounds like orthostatic hypotension caused by dehydration. This video even mentions the importance of proper hydration when taking NAC.
@KENTUCKYUSA1 thank you. That is quite possibly the issue.
You forgot it's a precursor for glutathione production in the body for all of us who have had their glutathione Pathways damaged by medical injection.
M doctor advised take it half hour before food or at least two hours following a meal
Yes, my Dr in Tampa Bay is taking NAC, he recommended it too, I'll try your brand
TOO MUCH $$$$ This doc is definitely taking advantage of his followers ! U could easily buy pharmaceutical grade NAC for half of the $$
Thank you 😊
I took it everyday for about a month and ended up with a complete lack of affect. Took another 2 weeks to detox. I now only take it 1x per week, and do feel benefits.
Doc. Good information. I take NAC w Glycine & Hawthorne. Said to improve Heart Function. With CHF - EF of 21 I need whatever help I can get to stretch my heart out for as long as I can. Unfortunately only thing left is LVAD, however I don't have the requisite support team. Again Good Video. 👍 Best
How much nac? How much glycine? How often?
Thanks
NAC 1000mg, Glycine 1000mg, Hawthorne 330 mg. Am & PM. Best
Yep! I NEVER take any NAC supplements. And the NAD or NAD + ones are ludicrous also! I take Moringa organic capsule supplements because it is natural & it has all these minerals.
Thanks Dr. I have a question about taking glutathione and NAC at the same time.
I include nac and heparzine in my supplement line. If the pharmaceutical controlled FDA states something is bad i usually do the opposite. Not blindly of course as i do have my due diligence.
Huperzine... cognition
Holy Holy ! I didn't know that NAC helps with Gut Health too , Thanks !
I take NAC every day & did when I smoked as well (which I quit a long time ago) & it helped me tremendously until I was ready to quit. I take it on an empty stomach with glycine & bromelain. The bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme & I heard that NAC & bromelain together help with blood clotting from the C*VID shots. I did not get the shots but I was around a lot of people who did. NAC works!
I found this article on PubMed "The Combination of Bromelain and Acetylcysteine (BromAc) Synergistically Inactivates SARS-CoV-2"
@ That’s perfect. I’m going to go look that article up. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Good content. 😊
Great video, and great tips on NAC. You answered all my questions about NAC. Thanks!
Crab owner here. You must def explain cancer prevention?? I have different information. Mainly in some cases its not good for tumors. So i stopped for now taking NAC.
Pharma most likely published what you read. Very transparent.
Me to. Not sure what's true!
Be careful, mainstream medicine loves cancer, big $$$. They wint tell u to cut out sugar either even tho theres ample evidence that tumors thrive on high carb diet
I had a bad post-covid cough for 3 years. I started taking 600mg NAC, 2x a day and by the 3rd week my cough was all but gone! By week 6 it was 100% GONE!
Hi Dr.
Nac is incredible.. 🎉Please made a Video on.. Why Not to take NAC re- Cancer.. !
This is the latest Info..
Would appreciate
Tnx 🎉
I've have some joint injuries and surgeries specifically knee and shoulder and was taking NAC and I had an incredible amount of stiffness and pain while taking it . When I stopped taking it those symptoms went away. That sucks because it does so many good things but when you can't hardly walk you can't take it.
Thanks for the video. Is NAC hard on your liver or kidneys?
The dr said to take NAC before taking any scan with contrast dye, cause the dye is bad for your kidneys but NAC helps protect your kidneys from the dye.
That's how I first learned of NAC.
My nephrologist told me it was kidney protective. 1200mg a day. Im a transplant patient
@ thanks for the insight
No! It’s great for the liver! It helps detoxify it!
Thank you for the info Should we also be taking Glycine with NAC to maintain a balance in nutrients?
Helpful
Thanks
I have kidney disease and started taking gly nac with r ala starting about 9 months ago. Separately, I also take NR with tmg and apigenin. I've reversed about 5 years of damage to my kidneys in that short time. I also been doing red light therapy, but only about once per week.
NR? TMG?
@mont5584 yeah, they gave me a lot of energy too
What are the abbreviations for? I have CKD and would like to know Thanks
@@bonniejeannetucker6992 you can search them online, there's a lot of info. My gfr was in 3a range, now it's back to stage 2. GlyNAC and r-ala should be taken on empty stomach. I take the other stuff with food. I take each about 4 or 5 times a week. I take half dose of NR (350 mg). Age is 44
My kidneys went down to 3A. Pill pushing Doctor wanted to put me on for Farxiga. I went online and found out I was not drinking enough water. I started drinking half my body weight in ounces. So 70 ounces a day because I weigh 140 pounds. Took a year but my tests showed it went from 52.7 up to 61.
Stimulating and boosting cellular production of Glutathione is indeed highly effective. Glycine combined with N-Acetyl Cysteine at a 2 to 1 ratio (3000mg and 1800mg) will produce significant results starting after 2 months with full effects at 4.
video of the year was just researching about NAC as I had some gut issues but that is fine now but helps with mucus amongst the most amazing benefits you listed ... Thanx Dr. Nick :)
When the FDA says something, you can be assured to look 180* for the truth
Please let us know if this can be given to kids 8 + for ASD ??
NAC is being used by a ER doctor I know.
He told me he took it the colder months when the flu is around the corner to prevent getting sick.
I started doing the same from October to February I take it daily 2x 600mg. Been doing that for 3 years now.
That stuff is amazing! My body does a speedrun on influenza now! Where I normally would be sick 4 to 7 days
Now it's done within 2 days and the severity is way way less. Instead of feeling like I'm dying from man flu like I always did I just experience a mild inconvenience now.
You made me Chuckle, re- man Flu.. Which is Biological.. ..
It’s how we made..
I’m a medical person.. So I understand what you saying.. 🎉😊
Is your D3 level at top of range? This is key to not getting flu at all. If supplementing remember to always take it with K2!
It is also recommended to take Glycine with NAC.
And Vitamin C
And magnesium, taurine, zinc, vitamin d3, k2
Thank you:)
Do you have any source on NAC helping in collagen production?
I heard the opposite from siim land. Since it directs Glycine to glutathione production instead.
Glutation (C-vit+NAC+Glutamin +Alfa-lipoic acid)
HOW'S IT GOING DR NICK? REVERIE INFORMATIVE VIDEO ABOUT NAC! MY QUESTION FOR YOU DR NICK , IS IT SAFE TO TAKE NAC SUPPLEMENTS IF YOU HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE OLDER WHO ARE ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION?
Hey Doc, is it safe to take NAC with other Vitamins and Supplements like Turmeric and Moringa and Omega 3, just got my 1st bottle im ready to start !!! Thank You for the Info 🙏
NAC is water soluble. Omega 3 isn't. You NEED to fake fat soluble nutrients with additional fat. That little fat in the omega 3 supplement itself is not enough to activate your fat metabolism. But that is necessary to absorb Omega 3 fatty acids.
There are many people who wasted all their Omega 3 taking it on an empty stomach or with water.
My water pH is 6.24 and makes me nauseous if I drink it plain. For years I would add apple cider vinegar (3.96) or lemon to make it more acidic. NAC makes it 2.81 and actually helps my digestion.
It cleared my lungs of a deep infection I had all winter long.
I'm taking it because it was recommended by Dr. Sean Omara (on youtube) for getting rid of visceral fat.
I'm carnivore.
I have used NAC a few times. Together with glycine. I always get heart arrhythmias from it.
Same. Fun fact: Magnesium Gylcinate, B Complex, even Wheat Juice Powder does this. The supplement industry is quite scarey tbh. 200mg of Magnesium Gylcinate nearly sent me to the ER and was unwell for days, yes days afterwards. 💡
Same, I started getting serious night arrhythmia when taking this. This cleared up as soon as I stopped.
@@wiseowl1580comes from built up air in the stomach
Ubiquinol???
What about animal research showing possible relation to cancer?
How much NAC should I take for cancer?
600mg x3/day
is it the same as the acetylceistine use for cough?
I can't say for sure what symptoms taking 3G NAC the past month have improved, the benefits mentioned do seem to be happening a little bit, but I'm about 99% sure I know it helped with a cold that was going around my house. Everyone had mucus buildup and runny noses. I got a sore throat for about a day and then no runny nose. I wasn't stuffed up, I could breathe unimpeded.
Interesting it shouldn’t be taken with protein, the info on the bottle says to take with food particularly protein.
Am VERY disappointed that the NAC for which you provide a link does not show the list of Other Ingredients. They only share what is not in the supplement. I will only purchase supplements that are transparent with their Other Ingredients because this list is an indication of the quality of ingredients in the supplement.
I went to the site he linked and it took me a few minutes to even find a picture of the label. Serving size is 2 caps, 1.2 g N-Acetyl-Cysteine Other ingredients:
HPMC(capsule),stearic acid, Magnesium stearate, and silica
@Irishangel831 I always look at the "Other" ingredients also. I steer clear of magnesium stearate, stearic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, & titanium dioxide. It used to be that mg stearate was bad but now it seems to be okay but I'm not buying it.
What is the mg for the bottle of Celarity NAC? I don't see it listed on the website.
@@recyclecongress Hey, you can find this listed under the supplement facts tab.
I strongly recommend you to buy one made by fermentation!!
It tastes much better, the other production method just smells awful, like fart in capsules...
It dilutes the blood vessels thus induces your blood circulation & all nutrients gets to their destinations.
An easier flow of energy.A photon excellerator/communicater.😊
I think you mean "dilates" or opens up, not dilutes.
NAC raises my blood pressure. There's also a warning about that on bottle. Has anyone else had trouble with BP from taking it?
This channel deserves at least 1M subscribers. The only thing I know for sure.
Thank you.... I appreciate it.
I agree. This is the most straightforward, uncluttered, clearly stated presentation I have ever seen. This man has set a new standard, others must meet, or perish. Very impressive.
How does acetylated glutathione compare to NAC?
Absolutely! I like his approach to functional medicine and health. He DESERVES more views.
But he does NOT discuss overdosing, potential side effects, and touts his NAC at 340% higher than Swanson -- $0.40 per pill versus $0.70
Hi Dr Nick, thanks for this information! Question though... NAC can cause (silent) acid reflux. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening? (Apart from not taking NAC 😅)
Not a dr. Just what I use. Bob's red mill baking soda (because it is processed differently than the others) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in a glass, well, more like 24-28 oz., of water that I drink some before bed and if I wake up in the night I will take a few more swallows then finish it before I eat anything in the morning. I'm not someone who wakes up hungry so I don't eat for an hour or two after finishing it. If I'm consistent with this, I don't get much if any heart burn or other digestive upsets. Store brands and the "other" brand do not work as well for me.
@@leahroper2673 ingnesting anything alkaline is retarded as it neutralizes even the small amounts of HCL you may have left. the trouble is, people including the cocktors, don't understand that reflux is caused by too little HCL, as nobody has too much of it.
You should take it with glycine or a brand with glycine reffered to as glynac
Yes, I totally agree with you!!!
I take 2400 mg daily of NAC for trichotillomania. ~ hair pulling. A form of OCD BFRD
Yes. It really helps

Who should not take NAC?
Those at risk of hyperprogressive disease.
Is it good to take it with other supplements on an empty stomach?
I take 3 times a day during flew season….with food….
I started taking NAC as a mucolytic for my respiratory system, but then I read some studies where it was found that it caused lung cancer. Since I had lung cancer (never smoked) I stopped.. any thoughts on that?
NAC definitely does not cause lung cancer! but if you are concerned about lung cancer i would supplement black seed oil, mullein leaf, and soursop leaf
Jane McClelland’s book suggests NAC protects cells. All cells. Even cancer cells. How true that is I don’t know.
Can you take NAC with other medications?
I had a heart attack in Dec. 28. My heart is actually feeling pretty good since they put the stent in. I’m curious if I can take it while on a blood thinner?
Dr. Google says not to take NAC while on blood thinners because it may slow blood clotting. Also, if someone has asthma or bleeding problems. Actually there is SO MUCH information on who should NOT take it that I encourage EVERYONE to do extensive research if they're considering this supplement. 😊
I noticed that my skin looks better from😊
Just one side effect that may be a game changer for some, flat mood, it dulls happiness, it had this effect on me
Heartburn is a common side effect
One compelling side effect of NAC that could be a significant deal-breaker for some is its potential to dampen happiness or flatten one's mood. This phenomenon isn't just about feeling less joy; it could subtly shift how we perceive life's highs and lows, potentially stripping away the vibrancy from daily experiences. Imagine the irony of a supplement meant to support mental health inadvertently turning the world into a less colorful place, where even the peaks of happiness seem muted. This effect might resonate differently across individuals, with those who cherish emotional depth or rely on peak experiences for motivation finding it particularly challenging. It opens up a broader discussion on the balance between mental health benefits and the cost of emotional richness.
Lesser amounts? Does methylene blue bypass that?
I already feel like that. It'll be interesting to see if the blahness goes away or gets worse. I have chronic allergies and can't tolerate the allergy shots' side effects, so I'm trying this. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences so I know what to look for as I get started.
Thanks...good info
Great! But a lot of people feel like me!! A form of callousness and indifference the next day. What causes it and what can you do?

Can cause all sorts of health hazards & symptoms

Any time something is supposed to be a magic bullet that seems to treat everything, one should distrust the claims and anyone who pushes you to use it.
i've read conflicting info on whether or not to take NAC before or after alcohol consumption, thoughts?
I took NAC last year because I had "Walking Pneumonia" for about 12 weeks! Didn't seem to work for me.
Got rid of the infection after taking "Cipro". I belive it has other benefits.
Yikes. Cipro is overkill and super toxic- watch your ligaments in the future. Ciproflaxin should be avoided at all costs. Use simpler, safer, older antibiotics first.
Cipro kills your good gut bacteria. The best antibiotic is garlic and manuka honey. No side effects and many other benefits.
I’ve been taking it for over 5 years now, maybe even 10, with doses around 2 grams per day to achieve a satisfactory effect on mucus, asthma, and related issues. I haven’t noticed any harmful effects so far. I even increased the dose to 3 grams since I got flu. Do you think it’s okay to continue this regularly? Could such a high dose become toxic over time?
If you're really concerned with respiratory related issues like mucus & phlegm, sinusitis etc also look into Serrapeptase--a real steam engine to deter these conditions. Works to help lessen migraines as well. 🌹
@@RaechelleBennett782 Thanks, I have tried also that, did not work as expected. Tried various products. I do not have 24/7 problems, mainly when allergy seasons begin or I get like now flu or some other virrosis or bronchitis.
The best so far have been NAC and reishi (mostly using powdered version).
@@mp7925 Blessings 🌹
if you have "asthma" you need to deworm with fenbendazole or albendazole. asthma is caused by ascaris worms. take 2x400mg of albendazole twice daily with fat. then 12-14 days break and another 5 day cycle, best when coupled with ivermectin.
Useful video. Question, I've been taking 300mg in the morning and the same at night. How is that compared to taking 600 once a day? Any difference?
What about the cancer risk, that is mentioned around the web?😮
-It doesn't cause cancer, it *may* empower certain cancers if you have it. Someone else did a video on NAC and cancer. I forget his name.
-NAC-induced anhedonia is a very real thing. Don't take it for long periods of time. Anhedonia is like depression, but not literal depression. It isn't a fun time. I had it before. It took close to two weeks to get back to normal
The merogenomics guy, Mikolaj Razcek
I have been taking NAC for years, but lately, I have been skipping my supplementation because I would forget to take the NAC with meals. So hearing that it is best to take on an empty stomach may now make me remember to take it prior to my brunch, my first meal of two for the day. I also take Glutathione though, and am wondering if I need to if I take NAC? I take the Glutathione on an empty stomach before my brunch along with a probiotic and an enzyme formula. Supplementation is one of the most confusing things to understand. There are so many variables and one does not know what to mix with what. Please make a video on what vitamins/minerals go or clash with one another and when to take them. Thank you for your explanations.
I’m always happy that you press your shirts before you start your show. -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸
He's always sharp-looking!
Just supplement with glutathione, right ?
Theoretically can decrease blood viscousity,If that did increased after some viral infections,
Isn’t this the supplement that increases cancer tumors? Confused between NAC NR and NM?
It doesn’t increase cancer tumors - it protects cells- including cancer cells. That’s the theory Jane McClelland’s book offers, anyway. If you have cancer, avoid it.
