Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I am new here and have not read anything negative about NAC. What did you read? It is an excellent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. If you have a large waist those fat cells produce a lot of inflammation and this will help. I am not yet taking it, but it is on the list for my next supplement order. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Freeman, NAC is rapidly broken down to yield free cysteine in the body, which produces toxic effects even while a small percentage benefits the liver, which sees it before other tissues do. NAC also has a half life of about 4 hours in the body so you need to dose a fairly toxic dose every four or five hours. This is why doctors use it only temporarily to save lives, citing diminishing returns. The dose would be 500 mg to 1000 mg every 5 hours, roughly. This work is mentioned in the book Breakthrough in Cell Defense by Gustavo Bounous.
