I'm taking n-acetyl cysteine to raise my HDL (good) cholesterol. I started with a low dose (2,400 mg) and am now up to 4,800 mg daily. The increase in HDL cholesterol is dose-dependent.

If I don't take this after a full meal and with a full glass of water, I get severe heartburn. If I take as directed, I've never had a problem.

I was given this to counteract a tylenol poisoning episode. I could not drink it so the doctor gave it to me through an IV. My blood levels showed a toxic amount in my system and was facing potential liver poisoning. Although it gave me nausea, it helped bring my blood levels back to managable levels within 24 hours. I feel it was very effective!
