About N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) and finding it

Posted by Margie E @margiebanks, Sep 29, 2021

I've been out of the lung support NAC by Jarrow. Seems it's nowhere to be found online. Suggestions anyone? Thanks Margie

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

NAC was challenged as a supplement by the FDA, because in MUCH higher doses, it has been used in hospitals as an emergency detox against Tylenol and some other overdoses. As a result, a number of companies, including Jarrow, have dropped it. There are still some brands available. I have used Swanson brand, and it is still available.

These are NAC brands that an herbalist recommended to me that can still be purchased: Protocol for Life, Caroson, Thorne, Doctors Best, NOW Foods, and Source Naturals. You can find them on http://www.iherb.com.

@ljfoo @sueinmn Thanks for that info! I also was on Jarrow's NAC and when discontinued was getting a different brand at The Vitamin Shoppe. Now having trouble there also. I will try the website mentioned. @lindam272
