User Reviews for n-acetyl cysteine (nac)

Solmucol 200 mg has helped with my flu, but I have a bruising in spite of I am not ware of any reason. It seems N-ACETYL CYSTEINE is the reason.

I take it as adjunctive treatment to anxiety/depression and results are great! I chose exercise performance, because it is closest to my anxiety, that I would mysteriously get couple of hours after exercise and nobody knew why. It has been miraculous, it is much better than adding antipsychotic to my antidepressant. I believe I will be able to lower amount of psychiatric medication soon. I take 2000mg a day. Brand used it NOW Foods.

I began taking NAC for peripheral neuropathy and immediately experienced relief from the chronic fatigue and weakness in my legs. This has been a life-changer!

I give 600 mg in a.m. and 600 mg in p.m. to my old dog who has breathing problems and a cough. Works very well. I take the same dosage myself with good results for asthma.

80 yrs old, COPD 11 yrs. Began NAC 600 mg for 4 months with good results, increased to 1200 mg daily for 16 months with really excellent results. Breathing tests now show actual improvement in functions even at 80. Much less mucus production. Life Extension brand better than two others tried.

After years of trying different drugs for my severe depression, NAC has allowed me to go off almost all of my medication! I recommend it to everyone.

Dietary supplementation with NAC will increase bioavailable glutathione. Glutathione levels are depleted by presence of HIV in the immune system. And increasing Glutathione will improve CD4 T cell count over time. An increased CD4 count is a long term goal for anyone with chronic medical conditions that impact the immune function. This is especially true for HIV and Cancer patients who have gone, or will be going through chemotherapy. Where chemotherapy, like chronic HIV, depresses immune function.Read More Read Less

My brother has been on this for over 6 months at 2000mg daily, along with his usual meds. The difference has been amazing. He is more motivated and talkative. He has joined a club for people with mental health issues and attends 3 days per week to play pool and socialise. This may not seem much but compared to the life he was leading which was just sitting about smoking and sleeping the change is remarkable. This product is not available here in Australia, I get it online from iherb.

I have been taking NAC for 2 weeks, and I like the waay it has helped me with my mucus. I am in Pulmanary Rehab right now, and it seems I am having a hard time with breathing and my pulse rate is over 100. Could this be from the pill?

does not relieve the pain, yetis working to expelling mucus from my bout with a severe head and lungs.

It have help some

My daughter was prescribed NAC by her psychiatrist (gradually increasing until taking 2,400 mg). It greatly alleviated the intensity of her psychosis and she continues to benefit two year later.

After about 3 years of pulling, only half a year of about 1200-1800mg of NAC daily was enough to help me kick the habit. Now, a year later I rarely take the supplement and hardly ever pull. While this supplement definitely helped with the hair pulling aspect of my anxiety/OCD symptoms, I still experienced panic attacks while taking it. Despite that, it was really a wonderfully helpful supplement!

I was given this supplement (600 mg once a day) to reduce respiratory mucous & constant clearing of throat. It was somewhat effective - enough so that I wanted to continue with it. Even though the capsules are rather large and uncomfortable for me to get down, I was willing to carry on. However, within 5 minutes of taking the NAC I get a terrible burning pain in the stomach, which seems to be telling me, "Don't use this medication!" I'm surprised that I haven't seen this anywhere as a possible side effect.Read More Read Less

Helps to create more saliva. Excellent sleep aid!! Also found it effective against depression & anxiety. Only downside is slight weight gain & possible some libido impairment.

It has helped my Tricotillomania, my acetaminophen toxicity, and my depression so much! I am amazed! And my asthma as well.

use 1200-two 600 tabs daily-dropped inhalers -stillunder watch -but looking good

Had chronic bronchitis most of my life but got it bad about three years ago. Did the doctor antibiotics and hacked for almost two years until I started l-cysteine to chelate toxins from my system. My tinnitus improved a lot. My dizziness went away and my bronchitis disappeared completely after about two years of morning barking to the point of almost vomiting every morning. Here I am again another year later picked up an A/C cold and bronchitis again. Going to pick up some NAC tomorrow as I am starting to displace ribs and my diaphragm us so sore I am having labored breathing again. Too bad it takes months to be fully effective. I took 1000mg per day for the first month or so and then 500mg for another few months.Read More Read Less
