Hello Sue. I am interested in taking this NAC supplement. What mg do you take, 600 or 1000? Thanks! Donna

Not sure about anyone else, but I started off with 500 mg. When the mucus gets worse, I will take it twice daily and that seems to control a lot of the problems allowing me to be Vest free and nebulizer free for a time. I also take a quercetin supplent once daily as it is an anti-inflammatory. Hope you get some relief soon.

I take N-acetyl-cysteine 600 mg twice a day. Be cautious - there is another NAC out there (N acetyl carnitine) that is not the same. I cleared it with my doc first to be sure it was OK. I was told by a pharmacist I trust not to take with glutathione - they are essentially the same after digestion.
