Smell Bad, But That Is How It Is Supposed to Smell Like
NAC, or N-Acetyl Cysteine is commonly used to treat acetaminophen overdose by binding to the acetaminophen molecules and preventing it from reacting with hepatic enzymes, which will damage liver.  In addition, it can be used to prevent cancer due to its antioxidant GSH or treat collapsed lungs caused by mucus blockage.  There are more benefits that NAC has to offer, so if you want to know whether or not it is a good fit for you, I think you would want to read the information on Wikipedia or WebMD.<br />I got acetaminophen overdosed 2 months ago due to the migraine, which lasted for three days.  It was a painful experience that I would never want to go through again.  I definitely will always remind myself to eat before taking the medicine and follow the direction.  I took the NAC for about a month and I did notice some improvement and the pain intensity started to diminish.  I did feel like vomiting sometimes, but I don’t know whether it is the acetaminophen or the side of effect of NAC.  Still, I am glad that I received this bottle for free to do the product evaluation.  I made a list of pros and cons while taking the NAC, and I hope everything I mentioned below will be helpful for your purchase decision.<br />Pros:<br />- The NAC product is made by a company that strictly follows FDA and cGMP (current Good Manufacture Produce), which ensures that the products are safe, pure, and effective.  I personally would not use anything that has no FDA or cGMP label on the package.<br />- It is organic.  According to the seller’s answer to one of the question posted on Amazon, synthetic NAC will be really expensive<br />- NAC can be taken with or without food.  Sometimes I find it is very inconvenient that I must eat before I can take pill, especially when I am in a hurry.<br />- Good price for 6-month supply, and it only requires you to take one pill a day (180 capsules total)<br />Cons:<br />- The smell is horrible.  There wasn’t a day that I didn’t want to throw up when I tried to swallow it, but I understand that is how it is supposed to smell like.<br />- The capsule size is big and it is hard to swallow sometimes.<br />Overall, I think this is a good product that can be taken over a long period of time for different benefits.  Even though my symptoms for acetaminophen overdose already went away, I still continue to take it every day so that I have a steady supplement of antioxidant GSH and glutathione.  For a good price and an effective supplement like NAC, I would recommend it to other people.
