Took NAC today

Posted by maliko @maliko, Dec 1 10:58pm

I bought a bottle of Jarrow's sustain 600mg NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) supplement. I took one tablet this morning and within 15 minutes, I started feeling really flushed and got extremely sleepy, tired, and dizzy. It lasted about 3 hours and slowly subsided. I did not notice any improvement in my cough or throat clearing. Has anyone experienced this when they took NAC for the first time? Will my body adjust to it? Thank you

I take 600 mg Douglas Labs NAC once a day, with no problems. I find their products to be of exceptional quality.

Wow Pamela, that's amazing to hear that your lung function improved that much by taking NAC. Sounds very promising. And thanks for the contact info to your local health good store, much appreciated!

Mine is drug resistant to azithromycin. I will be on ethanmutol refanbutim (sp) clofazamine and one other? Did you have any side effects. I so appreciate your time
