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

Referring the main post/topic, there was a time when a news spread about NAC's effectiveness in recovering faster from the C19 disease. It has some confirmation in the scientific sources:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35084258/
This resulted in a temporary buyout and lack of NAC supplements from the market (I write from Poland). Not sure about NAC availability in other countries, but here it is available, eg.

If needed, it`s currently available.

Yes, you are correct that it is once again widely available. For a time, FDA was badgering supplement makers to stop selling it because they class it as a "drug" not a supplement. In very high doses, it is used to detox patients (via IV) after accidental or intentional Tylenol overdoses. In the dosage sold as a supplement, it is safe for daily use.
I buy mine through reputable mail-order supplement sources. I only buy respected name brands manufactured in the US. Foreign-sourced supplement, which are not regulated, too often fail to contain the proper contents in the stated amounts.
