NAC for sleep turned into something else?
So I started taking NAC gummies about a month ago to help with sleep. I heard it could help with that, and honestly my sleep has been a little better. But the weird thing is, my skin has cleared up a lot and I feel way less stressed during the day. Anyone else experience something like this? Is NAC doing something I didn't expect?
Oh yeah, NAC is known for more than just sleep. It's a precursor to glutathione, which is a major antioxidant. It helps with detox and can improve skin health. Also, it can modulate glutamate which might help with stress. So what you're seeing is totally legit. I use it for immune support and it helps my allergies too.
That's interesting Frank! My grandkids swear by NAC for various things, but I've been cautious because of possible interactions with meds. Did you notice any side effects? I might try it for stress, but I'm on blood pressure meds so gotta be careful.
Thanks Quinn! I had no idea about the skin thing, that's awesome. Holly, I haven't had any side effects so far, but I'm only on one month. I'd check with your doc first since you're on meds. The gummies are tasty though, like a sour candy.
