Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've been taking NAC since February and it took about 6 months before I noticed any difference. My cough was much harsher than it is now. Leannel e wrote: My husband has started taking nac around Thanksgiving have not seen a difference thinking of stopping. How long before you see a differnce. Has had a dry cough off and on this week although maybe from the sudafed breaking up congestion.denise randel <dnsrndl> wrote: Hi , It's and not Sher answering but the bottle is sitting in front of me and it's so hard to spell I thought I'd reply to you. NAC is short for N-Acetyl Cysteine. Most of us get it from Pilgrim's Pride when you can order 3 for the price of 2. I take 1 in the morning and 1 at night. Someone told me you need to take viatmain C with it so that it breaks down well enough for your body to absorb it ( like making sure you take Vitamin D with your calcium) I'm not sure if that is true or not but I take 200 mgs of Vit C with each Nac capsule just in case. There is a bunch of stuff online about it and my doctor said it couldn't hurt. Plus !!!! our website guru recommends it so I take it! He will probably fill you in on why we take it. linda zion <ljz741comcast (DOT) net> wrote: Sher, What is NAC? You mentioned it previously and I haven't been able to find info about it.
