About N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) and finding it
I've been out of the lung support NAC by Jarrow. Seems it's nowhere to be found online. Suggestions anyone? Thanks Margie

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.

@suenm thats awful, I hope other companies will keep producing! Heather
I get NOW brand from Amazon and received a bottle a couple of weeks ago same as always.
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

Thanks Sue. I'll be looking into all these suggestions by members.
As an inveterate seeker of the Silver Bullet, I can hardly wait to buy some. Don
