Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 A lot of people on the internet recommend NAC for boosting Glutathione and aiding the liver, so I went out and got a bottle. Now I read on this forum that it might not be that good. Could anyone please explain? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Freeman, for some reason my reply didn't come up even though I was online to post it; maybe the moderator can have a look. No matter as I had the reference wrong; it's in Dr. Jimmy Gutman's Glutathione: Your Body's Most Powerful Healing Agent. To repeat, NAC is rapidly hydrolyzed to free cysteine, which is toxic, and only a percentage is seen by the liver as NAC. NAC produces diminishing returns as well as the toxicity so is only used by doctors to save lives. It's half life is about 4 hours so repeated dosing through the day every 4 hours is required; the dose would be 1000 mg; in other words two 500 mg capsules four or five times daily.
