NAC supplement?

Posted by libbyh @libbyh, Nov 27, 2022

A friend of mine suggested the supplement NAC (N-acetylcysteine) for my long Covid. I have never heard of it. Has anyone tried this?

I’ve had LC since contracting covid in February 2020 and also developed pneumonia 6 months later. I still get short of breath a lot and am now on a biological monthly injectable medication, Tezspire, which is administered in the Drs office. It’s helping. I tried NAC and had the worst asthma attack I ever had. It scared me to the point of almost going to the ER. There is a contraindication and warning with NAC for asthmatics so be careful. I’m glad it helps some of you but there’s also the flip side.
