After so many people posted about how the Linus Pauling therapy to 100% clean out arteries in weeks via vitamin C and lysine helped them with chest pains and cardiovascular endurance, I wanted to offer another anecdote.
As a daily cigar smoker, after a week of taking either of these (cheap/common) amino acid supplements, I wasn't able to take more than a few puffs of a cigar without being disgusted. Once I quit taking them, I could finally smoke an entire cigar again after a few days off the supplements.
A close friend of mine who smokes cigarettes had the exact same experience. Tons of half-smoked cigarettes in his ashtray.
Some people want to quit.
Some people see no reason to.
If you are in the former, the info is here for you to try for yourself.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
The below is from WebMD. An interesting part to know is that it insinuates NAC it's a pharmaceutical "approved drug." This is a lie. It was always a supplement. ("Amino acids" are just parts of proteins. Naturally occurring. Abundant in carnivore diet. Many made in your body.) After they realized it dissolved Graphene Oxide and denatured Spike Protein in vivo -that is inside of a living organism,- the Food & Death Administration granted it 'drug status' and banned its sale briefly in 2022. This ban was reversed and it can again be bought where other supplements are sold.
WebMD = truth mixed with disinformation.
From WebMD
"Acetyl-L-carnitine is sometimes used for Alzheimer disease, improving memory and thinking skills, treating symptoms of depression, and reducing nerve pain in people with diabetes. It is used for many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses."
From WebMD
"N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) comes from the amino acid L-cysteine. Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. NAC has many uses and is an FDA approved drug. N-acetyl cysteine is an antioxidant that might play a role in preventing cancer. As a drug, it's used by healthcare providers to treat acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning. It works by binding the poisonous forms of acetaminophen that are formed in the liver. People commonly use N-acetyl cysteine for cough and other lung conditions. It is also used for flu, dry eye, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses. There is also no good evidence to support using N-acetyl cysteine for COVID-19. Although many dietary supplement products contain N-acetyl cysteine, the US FDA has stated that it's illegal for dietary supplements to contain N-acetyl cysteine since it's technically an approved drug. But as of August 2022, the FDA is considering changing this stance. It may allow for N-acetyl cysteine in dietary supplements as long as no safety issues come up. A final decision is pending. Prescription N-acetyl cysteine products are available under the guidance of a healthcare provider."

Find a $10 bottle of Acety-L-carnitine and take it as directed on the bottle. You'll know within a few days, and it's good for you anyway (brain fog, mitochondrial support, focus).
