How do you take NAC? A tablet from amazon w/ lunch or dinner??
Best I can figure: NAC 600 mg one capsule daily for one week, then increase to 600 mg twice a day. Seems like this is the dose you need to achieve to really get it to work. After another week, you can go to 1200 mg in the AM and 600 mg at bedtime, and after one more week, up to 1200 mg twice a day. Easier to tolerate if you take with food. No dosage adjustment needed for kidney or liver disease, and no dosage adjustment required if over 65. Haven't heard anything about problems with using it for more than three weeks.
If you can get someone to write a script for it, it can be covered under a health savings account or Flex spending account.
Since the 1960's it's been used to treat Tylenol overdoses https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2637612/
Don't buy from Amazon. They're evil
its pretty easy on the system. i didn't have to work up to a full dose, and was even advised to pop an extra one if it seems appropriate. just to be wary of using it regularly for weeks on end.
Sounds good. Did a quick search on that question and found this:

i was doing three capsules a day, WITH meals containing protein.
BUT I was advised not to keep up that pattern for more than about three weeks at a time, or the body can become reliant on the supplement.
I bought a container of the crystals on Amazon. It has 415 servings in this container (1/4 tsp per serving). Not bad at all!
Amazon sells the fake stuff, and they’re evil lol.
