N
- Acetyl Cysteine 600mg once a day. NAC is known for its strong mucolytic (thinning of mucous especially of the lungs) effect and NAC has been shown to assist with the resolution of atelectasis (partial lung collapse). It seems that taking NAC may reduce the symptoms of the flu. Further indications may be that of reduction of inflammation like as with bronchitis, as well as with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Taking N-Acetyl Cysteine seems to reduce homocysteine levels which is a possible risk factor for heart disease. NAC appears to show protective qualities towards the kidneys and the liver because of the strong antioxidant effect (glutathione conversion in the body) and it is a well-known antidote for Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) poisoning. Take NAC for your daily dose of antioxidants.
