So my husband is always complaining about his sinuses, and I bought NAC gummies to help with that. He loves sour candy, and apparently these taste just like sour gummy worms to him. I caught him eating a handful last night saying "these are so good!" Now I'm worried he'll OD on NAC. Anyone else have this problem? And no, he's not a kid, but he acts like one lol.

OMG that's hilarious but also scary! My little brother used to do that with vitamin C gummies. I'd suggest keeping them in a high cabinet or somewhere he won't find them. Or get a lockbox for supplements haha. Also, NAC is pretty safe but too much can cause nausea or headaches. Might want to count how many he ate and check with a doc if it was a lot.

This reminds me of when I bought mushroom gummies (legal ones!) and my husband thought they were regular gummy bears... not a fun night. But seriously, NAC is great for sinus issues! I take it too. Maybe you can portion out his daily dose in a little container so he knows that's his for the day? Or get the capsules instead if he can handle pills. No temptation then!

LOL, are we married to the same guy? Mine did that with my elderberry gummies during flu season. I started hiding them in an old protein powder container. Works like a charm. Also, if he likes the taste, maybe he'll actually take his NAC regularly now? Just tape a note on the bottle: "NOT CANDY - DAILY DOSE ONLY".
