The most effective supplement I have ever taken
A friend with depression told me NAC worked wonders for her depression, so initially I ordered some thinking it may be a good mood elevator. It sad in my cabinet, and I'd take it inconsistently with no real noticeable effects.
Flash forward a couple months, I hear about glutathione as an amazing anti aging supplement from my dermatologist (glutathione is an essential part of every cell in the human body, it's considered the "ultimate antioxidant": [...] and upon doing research on the best way to encourage glutathione...my friend NAC kept popping up again. Time to take this stuff properly (I take 3 a day) and consistently.
Bare in mind, I have tried virtually every vitamin, herb, amino acid, you name it. After a brush with health problems last year, I have become a bit of a wellness junkie: and from adding martial arts, acupuncture, vitamins, research, juicing, and all that good stuff, I can tell you no supplement or food, absolutely NOTHING has improved my overall health more than NAC. I truly feel younger, I get deeper sleep, I get out of bed after 7-8 hours feeling rested (I used to need about 9-10). I maintain a healthy weight more easily, my skin is better, I feel happier, I no longer get sick, I feel more clear-headed. It has truly made an impact in my life similar to adding in a workout routine really, it's absolutely incredible. I suspect that increased glutathione was a key part of feeling much better. My thyroid is also functioning better according to lab tests, and I can feel it as well.
