small study: high dose NAC might help bronchiectasis patients

Thanks for posting this study; it's great that it's relatively new from Dec 2023. Maybe I missed it but the study did not say how often the NAC was given. Many of us take 600mg twice a day. I wonder if taking 1200mg twice a day would help, or they administered it in smaller increments throughout the day. For kicks I might give this a whirl!
@wolfplanetzero have you tried increasing the NAC you take?

No, i haven't tried increasing NAC at this point, but I am considering it. It is a small study, nine patients on NAC and 8 on a placebo. It might be challenging to get funding for a larger study since NAC is a relatively affordable and widely available supplement, so the profit motive would be lacking. I do hope it happens.

This was an incredibly small study and results cannot be generalized on such limited information. It may be a wonderful breakthrough. But, then again, we will not know until it is tested on a larger sample of participants.
