As you guys remember few days ago I posted a list of vitamins and supplements we should take to boost our immunity against flu and coronavirus, and NAC ( N-acetylcysteine ) was one of them.
NAC is a supplement form of cysteine. Consuming adequate levles of NAC is important, it replenishes the most powerful antioxidant in the body, glutathione. Doctors believe that NAC may stimulate the synthesis of glutathione, which helps fight free radicals.
People take NAC for various reasons to treat medical issues ranging from psychological disorders to chronic lung conditions, and to improve athletic performance. Other benefits of NAC include : supports liver function, helps asthma related symptoms, enhances bone formation, and prevents free radical damage. The common side effects : nausea , vomiting, diarrhea. Rarely, it can cause rash, fever, and low blood pressure. Major drug interaction with nitroglycerin, be cautious with this combination.
Since it is a very strong antioxidant, lots of doctors are recommending it to prevent the flu ( influenza). The recommended dose for reducing the flu is 600mg twice daily.
As with any supplement please consult your doctor or pharmacist to make sure its the right product for you.
