So, as many of you Americans know, vitamins, minerals and supplements in the US aren't regulated.
So if you go to the drug store, buy NAC, there's no guarentee that what you're buying is really NAC. Or the quantity of NAC that the bottle claims.
This is why Dr. Moss up at Stanford didn't use NAC from the US because you can't do a study where the quality could be highly variable.
So my boyfriend went home to Europe over New Year's and bought me some NAC. In Europe, vitamins, minerals and supplements are regulated. They're prescription! So you know what you're getting is exactly what's on the bottle.
Some don't like that it's Rx, but that's the trade off i suppose.
So today was my 1st day with NAC the Euro way. It's a 600mg tablet that dissolves in water. Body absorbs liquid NAC better than tablets, apparently.
It tastes gross. My BF tells me that that's how I know it's working. Hhahaha. I know I'll get used to it becuase I'll be drinking this stuff 2-3 times a day.
As the Moss study says, it can take a few months to see clinical benefits from the NAC, but I'll keep you guys posted. Hopefully I'll get used to the taste
