Re: NAC pills vs. capsules - Peggy/Jane

[Guest guest]

Peggy/Jane, On the chat the other night we were discussing NAC and 's post about it causing heartburn. I said I remembered a post (months ago) about a doctor recommending the pills not capsules and I always meant to follow up on it. I did some digging and this was the post I was referring to... Kerry IPF '01john closs wrote: Hi, I started NAC 600 Sustain three weeks

ago and so far no problems. But, everyone is different. I go to Stanford Medical Center to see my pulmonologist ( Dr. Rosen) and he was quite adament that I use the pills not the capsules. I never asked why? However, since I will be seeing him again next month ( I go there every month or sometimes every other month) I will ask? Also, he said their research lab has found differences in the chemical make-up of "NAC 600 Sustain" that he asked me to please get them through one of two pharmacies that they have found to have the "exact" ingredients. So, I did as he asked and was able to order them on line from one of the pharmacies he rec. Willner Chemists in New York. It was $31.92 for two bottles (a 2 month supply) as I only take one a day. He also said there was a liquid I could get but that the taste was quite bad so

I decided to go with the pills. Hope this information helps someone. Louise/ipf/996 (California) Holloway <dhollowaysaa (DOT) net> wrote: Hello everyone. My NAC capsules arrived today.
