Watch out taking ALA as it chelates mercury and redistributes it. There is a therapy where you take it frequently three day in a row weekly starting with low doses. Andy Cutler therapy. Clears out the mercury slowly. Have to get rid of the mercury fillings first though.
Thank you for the in depth discussion of NAC. I've been taking 1000 mg capsules for six weeks and I can't believe how much clearer my lungs are. The expensive inhalers I had tried didn't help, but now I no longer have a productive cough. I too became interested in NAC when they shadow-banned it during the "pandemic".
I have MTHFR genetic mutation and I take NAC and C together to help my body's detoxification pathways. It really works. MTHFR inhibits the body's natural detoxification processes and without NAC and a good sweat a few times a week I feel toxic and fatigued.

I'm never without NAC. 6-7 years ago I had bacterial pneumonia. Got that cleared but the producing cough persisted even after a month. Once my naturopath put me on NAC, the cough was gone within 5 days. I have been taking NAC since then. I tell everyone to take it. That and black seed oil. Now my naturpath has me up to 1600mg a day to help with my liver and free radicals.
I havent been sick for more than half a day since taking NAC for around 1 year now, pretty amazing stuff, used to have chronic bronchitis and would get sick if i came with 30ft of someone with a sniffle.

there are multiple studies around that. one also showing glycine as a rate limiting factor as well. so if you supplement glycine, glutathione level is increasing as well. and because glycine is needed for a lot of other things too, like collagen synthesis, i take glycine and nac with a ratio of about 5 to one.

He understates the benefits of glutathione. I remember an article on ageing using worms, out of Italy. I cannot find it again. They said it doubled the life of worms and as we age, glutathione production wanes and that everyone over 50 should be taking NAC. Also it is like a super detoxifier in the cell. When lacking the cell function is reduced, along with lifespan. Another therapy is glutathione IV with hyperbaric oxygen, improving brain function, memory etc. But NAC and exercise will do the same. Also with all the excessive glutamine we get in our diets from MSG or various forms, NAC may be good at mopping that up. It's toxic to the brain in large amounts (glutamic acid). Dr Russell Blaylock goes into this a lot.

I've been taking it on and off (mostly on) for several years, about 1000 mg a day. Very well tolerated, I can take on an empty stomach, or after a meal, it makes no difference. It has dramatically improved my allergy symptoms, which were chronic throat clearing, nasal "stuffiness", and lingering dry cough whenever I had a cold. I think it also boosts my energy level just a bit, hard to tell, because I might be taking too low a dose for me. Whenever I feel run down or on the verge of a cold, also around the change of seasons, I take 1000 mg NAC daily, and it helps me a great deal.

I'm 62 and I remember my 7th grade English teacher (Mrs. Ross) using this phrase. Thanks for the good memory.
. I am hypothyroid and I became very sensitive to foaming agents in shampoos, toothpastes and fluoride. The latter would make my gums swell up and my face would become puffy. However, since taking NAC I can now use toothpaste with fluoride in. That being said, I still need to use a SLS free shampoo or I need up with contact dermatitis. Very strange! I believe the glycine and NAC have helped me sleep throughout the night, I now get 4 hours sleep without waking up rather than waking up every hour on the hour. I also fall back to sleep and managed a further 2 to 3 hours....it's been a god send!

Fluoride-free toothpaste is important! Research about fluoride being toxic.

Indeed change toothpaste. The fluoride in it is a byproduct that comes from the aluminum industry and it's a neurotoxin. It calcifies the pineal gland (that makes melatonin for sleep among other things).

Flouride also messes with the thyroid gland. get it out of your diet - water, toothpaste!! The pineal gland does many things....one of them is producing growth hormone....use water without Flouride. Europe completely bans Flouride and has for decades. In North America almost every water supply has it. see if you can find a documentary about Flouride. I remember watching one years ago and when Flouride was put in the water at a city water treatment plant the workers had to wear a hazmat suit and when it hit the concrete it began to dissolve it.

Great content! I’ve heard it’s good to occasionally give NAC a break . And for some of us who don’t methylate efficiently, taking glutathione is better.

hello doctor!! interesting video! can you tell me your thoughts on intramuscular glutathione injections? I have taken them here in Italy for a number of years but recently have seen online that they might be counter productive or even dangerous or damaging to health!😮. Can you comment on this? can these shots do more harm than good? or are they beneficial for health and I should not worry about and continue taking them?? many thanks
You didn't mention sublingual glutathione. This can get into the bloodstream and is cheaper than liposomal.
Any supplements that we should avoid if taking NAC?

This is an interesting explanation for me. I am glutamate sensitive - and if I take anything with glycine or glutamine (like collagen powder) it will trigger a headache. But I tolerate NAC and feel like it helps with my brain fog. I have genetic variants in my GAD genetics which are supposed to make GAD enzyme - the enzyme that converts glutamate to gaba. Also compound hetero mthfr. I have taken liposomal glutathione - trialed it at different times and it killed my stomach (and I don’t have any stomach or digestive issues)
When I take NAC, my urine smells similar to when I eat asparagus. Haven't noticed any sulfer smell.The capsules really do stink, but getting used to it. Thank you for this info. Might try adding glutathione, liposomal if I can find it.

So to sum all of that up, minus the marketing plug, you should take NAC, plus vitamin C (freshly queezed lemon juice) and vitamin E together. You didn't discuss the importance of the best form of vitamin E. While you are at it you might explain why the best form of vitamin C is lemon juice versus all the pharma versions.

Vitamin E as Tocotrienol (EAnnatto by Delta Gold) is what I use. 98% of multivitamins have Vit E as Tocopherol. Majority of Vit E supplements are also Tocopherols, too. Tocotrienols is the most effective vit E out there

NAC also lowers BP and homocysteine. And it boosts nitric oxide. I find that when combined with beetroot smoothies, my BP and resting heart rate drop substantially. Beetroot is also high in betaine which is a methyl donor and also helps lower homocysteine.
What's best? Pills or capsules? Also, is 1000mg too much for everyday dosage? Thanks?
I couldn't remember why I was taking this supplement. Okay, nice explanation. Thanks.
