Crash Course on NAC - Dr. Osborne's Zone
Need NAC? Here is my recommendation - glutenfreesociety.org/UltraNAC
With all the stressors, toxins, and germs floating around in the air these days it’s no wonder our immune systems are on overdrive.
It’s one of the many reasons I recommend adding N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) to your daily routine.
NAC is an essential Amino acid and is a critical building block for the master antioxidant glutathione.
That’s why NAC is so valuable. It’s essential to:
- Your immune system
- Your liver health and detoxification functions
- Can reduce the side effects of OTC painkillers
- May help reduce the symptoms of respiratory issues by loosening the mucus in your air pathways
- Boost brain health by protecting your neurotransmitters.
And so much more.
This powerful amino acid is one of the most effective ways to reduce the symptoms of the cold or flu and can even help shorten the length of time you’re under the weather*
Join us LIVE on Tuesday night at 6PM Central as we take a deep dive into this amazing amino acid!

I agree!
I've already heard about 80% of what you said, but from many many videos. This was by far the most comprehensive lesson on NAC. Well done sir!
Dr. Osborne I have been taking your NAC supplement for about a year especially during cold and virus seasons and it helps with clearing out my lungs and mucus and have less episodes of catching flu. Thank you for all you do for people.
I didn’t know NAC helps to detoxify toxic metals. Thanks for sharing
I am so glad I found out about NAC. It has really helped my COPD.
Wow what a fantastic lecture. I am 72 I just had a benign 11cm cystf removed from rt ovary. I do take NAC. The surgeon took a photo of my ,liver and said i had a beautiful liver Imagine. My friend who was with me during surgery told him that i take care of myself. I am diabetic off of insulin,in for several years. Have been on keto diet several year. Your discussion on pcos was interesting to me. You are a physician worth listening to. Thank you sir.
Hi... A friend of mine was diagnosed with vitiligo some years aback and i was told about NAC.. After taking the NAC tablets for about 2 weeks the patches of skin started to clear up. Today she had no vitiligo.The thing is the nurse had told her (my friend) that there isn't any cure for vitiligo. I'm glad I'm hearing of more benifits of NAC. GREAT VIDEO.

I take it for flu prevention and was in a hotel with my husband who got COVID and was coughing on me. I didn’t get it (tested daily). I also am a strong believer in using sauna a few times a week. With both I don’t remember the last time I was sick (other than GI stuff because I have celiac and sometimes deal with cross contamination)
Dr O, I learned so many things about NAC other than it being an anti mucolytic from your lecture. Sperm motility, glutathione precursor, etc. Thank you for giving knowledge. You are much appreciated.

I've been taking NAC for years. Love to hear the indepth analysis of the positive benefits! By the way, don't ever forget that when C19 was at its worst, the FDA recommended not to use NAC right after it was shown to dramatically help prevent major symptoms after contracting C19. Amazon actually stopped selling NAC for about 18 months due to this. Something very diabolical was going on there.

Awesome as Always. Will be using NAC to help with stopping prescription pain killer for Fibromyalgia. Already reduced 25% use. I had my old dental fillings removed 15 yrs ago. But missed the fact that heavy metals were already in body. The NAC is helping remove the toxins in tissues. Which in turn has helped relieve symptoms of mercury and toxin poisoning in body.

Vit C (working in unison with Glutathione) is also helpful to use for detoxification from metals. DMSO (can be applied transdermally to mitigate pain, reduce swelling, induce healing, etc.). It also binds to metals, and can move them over the blood brain barrier. To increase Glutathione production you could also consider using Coffee Enemas.

If you live in the UK you won't be talking to your doctor about any of this stuff unless you're married to them. You have approximately 10 minutes each day from 8am when you can try phoning your doctor to make an appointment. If you get through finally at 8:20 they will tell you all slots to make an appointment have gone. You do this every day for a week and you eventually get through and apply for an appointment. They will then contact you in a week or so to give you a 15 minute appointment three weeks away. Are you honestly going to go through all this just to ask your doctor "Is NAC right for me?". I think you'd be struck off and never get a doctor's appointment ever again.

No Doctor really practices medicine other than what they’ve been brainwashed to practice during medical school, residency. And my practicing physician in the United States and disgusted about how things are in the world of medicine. Primary doctors can’t even treat diabetes right or are they gonna know anything about any supplementation? Lol! 😮. We need to stay healthy so we don’t need a doctor and we need people like Dr. Osborne to teach us things that we never learned in school..

Can't wait to watch this! I started taking NAC 1.5 years ago, primarily to help with hangovers and it's been incredible! My hangovers have always been unusual since I was a teenager - from as litte as one glass of wine I get inomnia, nausea, heavy palpitations, feel like I'm burning up, brain fog, fatigue etc. and it can last for days. The symptoms start a handful of hours after drinking, so I suspect I'm reacting to the aldehyde rather than the alcohol itself. NAC massively reduces those symptoms so I never drink alcohol without it (though I still don't drink often). But not only that, taking a daily maintenance dose of 600mg has made me feel so much healthier and I catch bugs less often. It's been incredible!! A game changer! I've told so many people about it and most of them haven’t noticed a benefit with hangovers, so it must be something about the way I metabolise alcohol and perhaps a deficiency in cysteine, glutathione, aldehyde dehydrogenase or something else. But I don't know why I have that issue. I'm sensitive to gluten and caffeine as well (neurological symptoms). My doctor and pharmacist have no answers. Would love Dr Osborne's thoughts on it!

I noticed a little relief after about 2 weeks & was tolerating it well, so I increased it to 1000 mg/day. I feel so much better, & can grocery shop now without being doubled over with pain & fatigue by the time I bring it all into the house!
