Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 It usually smells a lot more strongly like vinegar. . . . . . > Hi List, > Does anybody know if nac smells like sulphur? > maria r > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Thanks, Andy! Do you know if amino acids smell like sulphur? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Only the ones containing sulfur should have some smell, methionine, cysteine, cystine, NAC. And they may not have much smell if they are pure enough or formulated properly. Andy . . . . . . . . > Thanks, Andy!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 NAC is short for N-Acetyl Cysteine. my doc tells me it is good for detoxing liver - esp for those who take anti-fungals and he says it breaks down the outer coating of the bacteria so the antibs can penetrate it better. 750-1000 mg a day divided up is a good dose i hear. my doc said to take it with the antibs. monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I believe it is a weak chelator of metals and can potentially move them around if a stronger chelator is not available. It also worsens candida if not taken with antifungal supps/meds. Some don't tolerate it at all because they are already high cysteine. Why would you use it without chelating? I would use it during chelation breaks, but not entirely without chelating. It works well with ALA and I think it's fine with DMSA. From my reading, I have concluded that I will not use it with DMPS, but instead, on breaks from DMPS. From what I understand, the bonds it makes with DMPS could make mercury harder to excrete. So what it comes down to is - why are you thinking of using it? > > Can somebody please help me understand if NAC used WITHOUT any type of chelator is harmful > or not?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 NAC is not a chelator. It boosts glutathione levels and should be avoided by anyone with high cysteine, wtich is most mercury toxic people. Unless you know you need it you shouldn't take it. I believe some of the alternative labs offer plasma cysteine testing. > > Can somebody please help me understand if NAC used WITHOUT any type of chelator is harmful > or not?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 My son can eat any high sulfur food - broccoli, cabbage, peas, nuts chocolate etc. He used to have high plasma cysteine - and could not tolerate things like curcumin, but his status has changed after 116 rounds, as I understand can happen in the course of chelation. NAC was nevertheless a problem, which I recall reading can be the case, there are those whose cysteine status make it intolerable, and even amongst those whose cysteine status is not high, NAC can still be a problem. It is worth a low dose trial I guess, but I would say to wary of this supplement, it is not for all.
