Hey everyone! I've been taking NAC (N-acetylcysteine) for about 3 months now to support my respiratory health during allergy season. As a science enthusiast, I've read all the studies about its antioxidant properties and glutathione production. I'm taking 600mg twice daily and honestly, it's been fantastic for my seasonal sniffles! Has anyone else noticed improvements in their immune function or energy levels?

Interesting thread! As a yoga instructor, I'm always looking for natural supplements to support mindfulness and detoxification. I started NAC about a month ago after reading about its potential benefits for mental clarity. I'm taking 500mg in the morning with my meditation practice. So far, I've noticed slightly better focus during my sessions, but I'm curious - has anyone experienced any digestive issues? I've had some mild stomach discomfort that I'm trying to figure out if it's related.

Okay, I need to chime in here because I'm seriously confused. I started NAC two weeks ago hoping it would help with my caffeine addiction recovery (heard it might support neurotransmitter balance). I'm taking 600mg daily, but honestly? I feel MORE anxious than before! And the weirdest thing - I've developed this strange metallic taste in my mouth that won't go away. Is this normal? Should I lower my dose or just stop completely? I'm starting to think this supplement isn't worth the hype.

Sleep-deprived parent checking in! I started NAC about 6 weeks ago after my doctor recommended it for immune support (with two toddlers bringing home every germ imaginable). I'm only taking 300mg once daily because I'm breastfeeding. Honestly, I haven't noticed much difference in my immunity, but I HAVE noticed my skin looks clearer? Maybe it's the antioxidant effects? But I'm with Mila on the side effects - I get occasional headaches that I never had before. Are these supplements even regulated properly?

Digital nomad perspective here! I've been using NAC intermittently for about a year while traveling. 600mg when I remember to take it. For me, the biggest benefit has been liver support since I'm not always eating perfectly on the road. No major side effects except occasional sulfur burps (which are gross but manageable). To those experiencing issues: Are you taking it with food? Empty stomach can cause problems. Also, quality matters - I only buy from reputable brands with third-party testing. Might be worth checking your source!
