I couldn't find my regular sinus pressure pill. Sudafed PE and all the house brands of such have been pulled off the shelf, citing some FDA "studies" that "suggest" it doesn't work. That little red pill has staved off migranes for 7+ years! Luckily, for now, I can still get it off the innerwebs BUT, I think they KNOW what works well and try to make it REALLY HARD to obtain. I'm an automobile mechanic for 42+ years and have seen attempts to strangulate the industry through limited parts availability and quality. NOW, THEY'RE DOING IT TO HEALTHCARE!!!

They started trying to do this back in 2022, I remember SaltyCracker talking about stories about it one night and that it's prep for another scamdemic.
Back in 2020 they tried to pull NAC of the shelves, for a while could only find it online through bulk distributors. Then they have up and suddenly it was everywhere again.
I stacked up on NAC back then.
Yes!
I remember when TheraFlu was gone for a bit. Another one that WORKS!!!
NAC isn't much better than vitamin C for basic use as an antioxidant. People make a big deal out of it when a simple glass of fruit juice or a daily multivitamin will provide you with the same benefit for day-to-day health and wellness, things like cancer prevention, immune health, and that sort of thing. You may see glutathione sold for this purpose too. Same deal. Don't spend money on things that you're basically going to piss out into the toilet for minimal to no real health benefit.
I'm not saying NAC isn't safe to take every day. It's fine, but just understand that the function it does is also done by other things in the body. And if you're just wanting an antioxidant for general health, eat some fresh fruit, and save yourself the cost of the pills.
Fruit juice contains way too much fructose to be healthy. Keep drinking that stuff and you'll increase your risk of diabetes and dementia.
I remember them saying that OTC meds would start to disappear. DEPOPULATION
