Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 NAC = N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine It is available over the counter here in the US, I am not familiar with how it is treated in Europe. Many of us who have been advised by a doctor to take it will purchase it online from a reputable site, or from one of several Health Food Supplement stores nationwide.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi Tammy, I'm sure folks have responded by now, but I've been slow on my email responses. NAC stands for N Acetlcysteine. You can take it in a liquid form from you doctor or in a capsule form from places like GNC, Puritans Pride, etc. Hope this helps.
