I just saw your 2019 post. Have to tell you, I had started NAC after seeing an article by mercola.com (Dr. Mercola). Three years ago I was hospitalized with bronchiectasis with atelectasis and looked like a fish out of water as I could barerly get air in. I'm also a cancer patient and have 6-month PET scans. On several scans there were nodes in my lung and doctors were concerned about metastases to lungs. Well, I started the NAC inbetween PET scans and my miracle came when those nodes almost completely went away! I kept telling the oncologist that I felt the nodes were due to bronchiectas and more atelectasis after having the flu quite bad last March (which I believe was Covid as my lungs went downhill fast). I not only can get whole breaths of air now .... I have not even had to use my nebulizer treatments or The Vest lung machine thumper since last November. I'm sticking with my NAC supplements, but will look into the Jarrow time-release one.

Wonderful outcome. How much NAC do you take? Do you ever change the dosage? I've taken NAC for a year and a half and truly believe it helps. Recent CT and PFT shows I'm a bit worse. I nab twice a day with 7%. Look forward to your response.
The FDA has reclassified it as a drug, maybe because of its success in some studies in helping the lungs of people with Covid. It is now Pureformulas.com and Thorne still have some of their brands but otherwise check the shelves in stores. It works so well it is now unavailable as a supplement!

So wonderful to hear of your great improvement! I’ve been taking NAC 600mg sustained release by Jarrow twice a day for a couple of years now and I think it helps a lot. I am happy to hear of your success! Thanks for letting me know.
