I take both in pill form, 600 mg each, once a day. But I don't know if that's efficacious for bronchiectasis. It would be nice to know. Does anybody out there know?

@nickraosr NAC does help with mucus thinning/reduction for some people with Bronchiectasis - at dosages between 600-1200mg daily. Some people nebulize it instead. For me, I get the same results from Mucinex, so I stopped it because of the nasty taste. There are a number of discussions about it in this group.

NAD has been show to reduce inflammation for people with COPD, but has not been studied (yet) for Bronchiectasis. I have not tried it. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11645284/)

In general, I am leery of supplements because they are not regulated, so much research is required to find brands that undergo testing for purity and potency.
