N-acetyl-l-cysteine N-a-c Supplement 500 Mg, 90 Capsules - Endorsed By Dr. Ray Sahelian, M.D. - A Liver Antioxident

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is most commonly used by consumers for mercury detoxification. People who consume large amounts of fish (usually more than 3 servings a week), and who are therefore at a greater risk for mercury poisoning, may find that taking 1500 mg of NAC a day helps to eliminate excess heavy metals from your system. I don't know if any of this is true, but the research I've read looks promising and since this is a naturally occurring antioxidant, it can only help. It is recommended however that individuals taking NAC take 3 times as much vitamin C when taking NAC to prevent the NAC from being oxydized and forming kidney stones.I bought "Club Natural's" brand of NAC because the stuff is fairly expensive and it was the cheapest I could find. I gave it two stars solely because it looks like it was produced in someone's garage. The label appears to be printed with a home computer, and the capsules are generic clear capsules with the powder inserted inside. The main thing I noticed about it is that this stuff smells AWFUL. Maybe one of the worst-smelling things I've ever put in my mouth. The strong smell is likely due to the cheap capsule it's in, or maybe the smell is from the capsule itself. Either way, it's very strong.That being said, I still take it and don't believe this brand is any less effective than another, but in the future, I will spend a little more money and get a name brand version that doesn't smell so bad.

i have been using this for awhile now, i think this is my 3rd bottle, i like it and i think is working slowly my metabolism and immunity i think is getting stronger.

Take this product with food. My min. dosage was 4 or 6 per day to counteract the affects of vicodin use and detoxify the liver. Thanx Amazon.com

My first experience with N-acetyl cysteine was back in 1979. As a pharmacist, I prepared solutions to use in kids with cystic fibrosis. This amino acid does have an odor- it's supposed to. When taking this, I also recommend taking all doses after a full meal and a full glass of water, otherwise it can create heartburn.That being said, I take NAC to raise my HDL (good) cholesterol. A total daily dose (in divided doses) of 3600 mg can raise HDL cholesterol up to 10 mg/dL. It's also the body's prefered anti-oxidant.

Of the reviews I have read on this product, it doesn't seem like you're getting a good product. I use Andrew Lessmann's NAC and I cannot say enough good things about it. He makes all of his products in Nevada, using solar power, and it is all made in the USA, not China or other foreign countries where you don't know what is in it. I only use Lessmann's vitamins. One caveat is that he only sells through HSN. I am never without his vitamins. None upset my stomach and they are great formulas.

See a M.D. for what ails you. If it looks like trash and it smells like trash, it is likely to be trash. Get a grip.
