Awesome thanks! I will be ordering mine!

The NAC tablets, are they safe to take? I am curious and want to try them but I don't want to end up in the hospital because of it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Thanks!!

Well, as Sak said (and I wasn't aware of this during the time I was taking regular NAC capsules for so long), the regular stuff gets oxidative (bad) when it hits oxygen, and it s impossible to make capsules with it that hadn't hit oxygen. So you need a hard form that is sealed in a package, that releases in fluid. It makes sense to me, hence my interest. The only aspect is the cost. Even at the cheapest source, doing that product twice a day for a month (and I think Sak does it three times aday, so thats worse $$ wise), would be 35-40 bucks a month easy. Not like I can't afford that, but I do spend quite a bit on other bills and supplements/co pays/gas etc now. Something at that cost would only be way worth it if the effect was as good as some say it can be.

The stuff actually tastes pretty good. I've been on them for about a week. The only real difference I've noticed so far is that my achiness, which I would remedy with ibuprofen, is not as bad. I've taken advil only once since starting the NAC over a week ago. Normally I would take it at least once a day. I suppose that could be anti-inflammatory effect of the drug. I haven't noticed much difference with my breathing or sputum. Some days I think its good, but then the next day it won't be as good, so its hard to say so far.

I've had some other effects too lately (with my throat), but can't say as though they are related to the NAC. I've heard it can take a couple months to notice the most benefit, so I will stay on it for a good while.

Said fug it and just bought mine. Got 3 packages of it for 41.70 with the cheapest decent shipping, for a one month supply. That's assuming i'm only supposed to be taking it twice a day like the package says (waits on Sak to respond).
