I buy the NOW brand (not a promo - just it works for me) online. I used to use Jarrow, but they quit making it a few years ago, so had to look for another reputable source.
Bought another brand and it didn't seem to work the same - later found out they were a company "repackaging and rebranding" bulk supplement from overseas, and upon testing some of their stuff wasn't as advertised. This is just one example of "buyer beware" when it comes to supplements - don't go with the lowest price or an unknown brand. I look for a US company with independently inspected facilities. There are several others beside NOW.
I use 600 mg twice a day.

Thanks Sue for the info. Do you take the NAC before you nebulize with saline?

I should know the answer to this, but I'm still not clear exactly what airway clearance is. I do nebulize levalbuterol and saline and take mucinex every day and take a brisk walk 4-5 days a week, but I'm concerned that I'm missing something. Thanks! Donna

My naturopath put me on this brand of NAC, I take first thing in the morning, and just before bed on an empty stomach with a large glass of water. I take Mucinex 12hr at the same time.

Thank you for the encouraging story and the info.

Can you please explain what NAC is and what it does for your body?

I'm new here and newly diagnosed so I'm not familiar with many of these treatments. What is the saline treatment and NAC.

Hi Sue,
I've tried to take NAC on an empty stomach as suggested in what I've read, but I can't because it causes stomach and throat pain. It doesn't matter what brand, I've tried several, but all have the same effect. I now take it with food, but I'm not sure if that is doing anything for me. Has anyone taking NAC had the same issue? Does anyone have any suggestions about how to take NAC and if it is necessary to take it on an empty stomach?
Thanks!
Leslie
