🧠 NAC works by lowering inflammation and boosting glutathione levels, which is a powerful antioxidant.
💊 NAC supplement has been shown to reduce migraine frequency and attacks in some patients, but it was temporarily removed from Amazon due to safety concerns during the pandemic.
🤯 The speaker went from having 15-20 migraines a month to sometimes having completely migraine-free months thanks to natural alternatives like supplements.
🤔 The speaker stopped taking NAC supplement when they felt they didn't need it anymore, but recently started using it again to improve their nervous system health and potentially reduce residual migraines.
🧠 NAC can balance neurotransmitters like glutamate, which can lead to excessive nerve inflammation.
💊 NAC supplement is believed to be more easily absorbed and effective in increasing glutathione levels compared to glutathione supplements due to its ability to reach the brain and cells.
🤯 NAC has shown to be effective in reducing behavioral symptoms like hair pulling, nail biting, skin picking, and other compulsions in Neuropsychiatric disorders like OCD.
💊 NAC supplement has been found effective for various conditions, but it's important to consult a doctor before taking it and to take it with food to avoid nausea.
great summary! thank you.
It was removed because it competes with more expensive pharmaceutical drugs. There's a reason why marijuana was illegal for so long, and it has nothing to do with REEFER MADNESS. Big Pharm is one of the largest lobby in Washington. Second only to big oil.
If big pharma had their way, ALL supplements would be illegal. Especially when everything can have a bad effect on somebody. That includes all foods. Shall we make those food illegal too?
And I noticed NAC cost had doubled as well
NAC was removed
because it was beneficial
to people with the
corona virus. TOO beneficial.
🧐😷
That NAC was temporarily removed from Amazon due to safety concerns during the pandemic was for the very same reason that "doctors" and "scientists" and the "elites" wanted to do away with Ivermectin and HCQ - BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY WORKED. Flash forward a couple years, and now, it's okay to use these supplements again because "oh, my bad, they actually do work" on covid and illnesses. You see, if there is a real cure out there, the great THEY could not have put had Public Health Emergency ("pandemic") in order to push their protocols like intubation, and drugs like Remdesivir, that made them millions, even billions, of dollars in the process.
I've just started on 600MG and my OCD repetitive thoughts literally stopped. My son has OCD too and he has also had amazing results. Unreal!
wow great to hear :) Thanks for sharing. There's also preliminary studies that show that glycine might be beneficial for OCD
Hi there, I read that you had good results with your son taking NAC. I am searching for answers for my 9 year old son with ocd. May I ask how old your son is? And what dose you were giving? Thank you kindly 🙏🏼
Glad that it helped u with your OCD. I know what's it like to be OCD. Plz tell me the brand that u use.
What Brand do you use please
@@iaminkalandif I take nac. I get glutamate sulfur excess n feel sicker it mobilized mercury other heavy metals. Pesticides. Etc. Trying to take it thou get liver phase 2 healing. And glutamate gets brain anxiety
I’m 66 years old. I play tennis 3 times a week, lifts weights, swims laps, run on the elliptical, play golf, ride bicycle. I started taking 600mg of NAC 2 weeks ago. What I noticed almost immediately was my recovery over night from a hard workout was similar to my recovery when I was younger. No more stiffness or soreness in the morning. The other thing I noticed mentally is no more ruminating thoughts. I have always been a person that rehashes things in my mind, at times too much. Since I’ve been taking NAC it is very easy for me to let things go. My experience with NAC in a short period of time had been pretty amazing and unexpected. I don’t think there is a magic pill out there, but NAC is obviously replenishing something in my body I’ve lost probably due to aging. I have had zero negative side effects.
UPDATE:
I have been taking 500mg of NAC daily for 12 months. I am a 67 year old male, and I play tennis 3-4 times a week, I run on the elliptical, or ride bicycle on the days I don’t play tennis . Recently I have noticed a mild burning in my lungs when I do cardio or play tennis. The other evening I played 3 sets of tennis, it was 86 degrees, at the end of the second set, my lungs started burning. By the end of the 3rd set it was almost unbearable. It took several days to clear up. I stopped taking NAC during time. I started back with NAC, and I have a mild burn in my lung after going for a walk. Has anyone else had these symptoms?
Great to hear it works for you. You probably have a lot of recovery needs being so active and exercising a lot. Well done! Yes, I've now moved to using short periods of time as well. Aging naturally comes with more inflammation and less ability to recover so yeah, it probably supports it. I've also found Red Light therapy to be extremely useful for recovery and lowering of inflammation.
Wow that is so interesting to read! Amazing to hear how positive NAC has been in just 2 weeks, may I ask which brand you take?
@@aranna2729 I take 600mgs. NAC the brand I use is NOW. I bought it off Amazon.
Do you take glycine with it?
Nac and glycine is a very good anti aging combination.
@@nicknak5257 No I haven’t. I wanted to try NAC by its self for a while to see how I got along with it. I will add glycine in a couple months, to see if I notice any changes.
NAC has helped me quit smoking.
Wow! congratulations :)
Thanks I will try this 👍
Hasn't helped me stop smoking 😢
Me too.
Wow!
I am 70 & follow a healthy narrative. I have followed the science & NAC + Glycine I take twice daily & found a positive benefit. I believe humanity are experiencing an awakening conscious 💜🌟🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience
And NAC is a tool ?
there is no science behind this product. In fact, the one thing they avoid is scientific scrutiny because it shows what a scam supplements are. $30 billion dollar industry. Fool 100,000 people and you're an instant millionaire.

I've been taking it for 4 years. Every winter I would get very cold fingers - gloves didn't help much. Since taking NAC, I don't have this problem. Absolutely brilliant.
wow great experience. Thanks for sharing Steve
Thanks l have the same problem every winter

If your fingers go "flat" or maybe not all go cold, you may have Raynaud's syndrome.
I was always cold until i started taking Niacin (nicotinic acid version) for long Covid, now I don't feel the cold unless I stop taking it. I have used NAC for 18 months now and it has been great for my energy levels.
Bought some NAC during the lockdowns, was told it would help if I got the flu. Never got sick and it was about to expire so I tried out a few capsules over a few days. I was stunned at how much better I felt mentally. I am 61 years old and have been taking 1,000 mg per day for about a year now with a lot of positive results and no negative side effects. I use some glycine powder to sweeten my coffee, but I should probably take more glycine then I currently do. NAC is super cheap and I plan to take it daily moving forward. Got rid of my OCD, better moods, better cognitive function and a better outlook on life. Younger people may not benefit as much since our bodies make more NAC when we are young.
Was it this same brand?
I used to be a chronic masterbater, but NAC helped me quit the habit!
Please 😂 i just cannot with you and if true it's not the place
It's a compulsion. It's part of life. You just have to be mature about it.
@@SYLV_IN why is it not the place. he has a serious issue and im curious what everyone is going through if it helped him then that is good to know as i tend to have compulsion to sex
@@questtofreedom if NAC worked for his masturbation addiction then I apologize
I’m so happy for your wife!
I started taking NAC a while ago and I realized a few amazing things as well: Also no more migrains (I had maybe 2 per month), no more heart palpitations, no more restless leg syndrome etc...
If you want the real turbo health benefits of NAC take Glycine with it as well. The combo is called Glynac and the research on its age reversal effects is astounding.
yes I use Glynac and it's all in my second video.
The FDA pulled NAC to push their heart stopper juice.
What's that? :D

NAC helped my compulsive shopping and I also completely stopped drinking
Really?! Interesting!
I bet your husband is happy
Now that you mention it, I think it stopped my compulsive shopping, too. I was on track to becoming a hoarder.
Thank you for this video, i also have chronic migraines, i just started taking NAC for a cough i had, and while taking discovered something else, i have high blood pressure and take 2 different pills plus water pill, my blood pressure was not going down, the week I started taking the NAC my doctor wanted me to see a cardiologist to help with my blood pressure, when I went to my appointment the cardiologist checked my blood pressure multiple times and I couldn’t believe it was 131/82, for me that’s amazing because mine is usually 175/100 or sometimes even higher, thats when I realized that i was taking NAC that week, so since than I check my blood pressure twice a day and it’s always normal. So ppl that have blood pressure issues try NAC it really works❤️
wow wonderful results Ani. Thanks for commenting and sharing this experience ❤
I am so happy it helped you
migraines are horrible!
It may be a good idea to include additional magnesium in your food and/or supplements. Magnesium Threonate is a form of magnesium that has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and can be very helpful for all kinds of conditions-- I would think especially neuro inflammation?-- as so many of us are magnesium deficient.
how many mg per day of NAC were/are you taking to get the BP lowering effect?
Thank you I have persistent high BP and have all my other numbers under control and I'm refusing to go back on HBP meds. I just started taking Vitamin K2 MK7 and Magnesium Citrate for various reasons and am looking at Taurine , I am adding NAC today to what I will be taking. I have neuropathy developing in my feet and hands, arthritis in the hands, all quite recent so I have IR for sure. My doctor cant test for insulin levels and just wants me back on meds... so this was very helpful and encouraging news for all my conditions related to IR.
Glutathione IVs helped my migraines tremendously. After two 1,000 mg IVs I began to improve. I now go once per month for a 2,000 mg IV. I also take NAC and collagen powder which contains glycine but I haven’t been very regular with it. Going to start taking it more often though. Glutathione is so important for pretty much any illness. Sick people tend to be unable to produce an amount that is sufficient to deal with the level of environmental toxicity we have today. There’s just way too many toxic chemicals in our air, soil, food and water.
Thanks for the reply. That's interesting. I wonder if there's NAC IV in my area. I'll look into it. Yes, modern environments and products, even household materials, can be so toxic to us. Especially to migraineurs who are predisposed to higher levels of inflammation in the body. Thanks for sharing your results :) In regards to glycine, I find the most benefit when I take 3-10 g per day.
I posted this above. I've suffered from headaches (Migraines) since my youth, I'm 57. A couple of years ago I started taking Turmeric capsules. (Biotrust and Stop Aging Now) are the main companies I use. Turmeric practically eliminated what was a 6-7 day a week issue to maybe 1 a week. You notice results usually on day 3. Also, take Turmeric with food. Worth trying.
Thank you. I have suffered 4-day disabling migraines for 50 years every 2-3 weeks. Even menopause I waited for did not stop them (pregnancy and 9-month breast feeding had). I began NAC as part of Covid prophylactic protocol in Jan 2020. My migraines did decrease dramatically making me able to function much better and reduced the duration. I began to decrease my usage and I have had a few more intense and more frequent migraines again. I will be more diligent about taking it again daily now after your post.
Great information!! Thanks so much 🙏
Thanks for the comprehensive overview and your experience! 👍
Hello! So happy you have had such positive results since using NAC! I have been taking it on and off for many years now and have found it works wonders with my breathing, especially after being sick with Covid 2yrs ago.
I hope you will continue to improve your migraine condition. Greetings from Toronto! :)
Hello thanks for the comment. Great to hear from your positive experience, too. And yes, I also noticed that it helped with some side-effects of covid :)
I've had migraines since I was a child. Thank you so much for this information.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Amy. Migraines are horrible. You may benefit from my migraine supplement guide. Link is in the Bio.
nice that you did your own research and that it helped. I may start it soon.
I also started NAC AND may take NAD+. On the Migraine and nervous system issue. I had the same issue. I found another treatment for migraines and it's worth trying. Turmeric capsules. You need two to three days before you see results, but as someone that dealt with headaches 6-7 days a week and moderate to severe on the pain scale, Turmeric reduced these to about 1 a week and the pain scale down to mild. I've been using Turmeric for a couple of years now and it's been the closest cure I have found. I use Turmeric from either a company called Biotrust, or Stop Aging Now- Turmeric with Q10
First time here. I noticed that you respond to almost every comment. Amazing!
Hi welcome :) yes trying my best to do that
I started taking just 600mg of NAC per day and withing 48 hours I just felt so much better. I'm 64.
great to hear that :) thanks for sharing
I did too and guess what? I felt nothing. Absolutely zero. See how claims works now?
I obviously had a condition which was treatable with NAC like fatty liver so my body doesnt detox properly and inflammation. If you feel lously for whatever reason and tried NAC, and it did nothing, it would be due to the fact that you did not have a health condition which NAC could target. If you are just generally feeling tired and like crap for example, you may have hypothyroidism which is very common. Or if you are in your late 40s or early 50s and are female, and feel tired and washed out, you may be starting menopause and need a bit of hormone support. A couple of different friends around the 50 age mark kept telling me they felt really tired. I gave them both one of my estrogen patches, and it completely picked them up in 48 hours. A blood test from the doctor has a reasonable chance of picking up any disorder you have.
@@krane15
Hi Inka, I'm so glad I found you. My mother has a lot of OCD behaviours, and she is 76 yrs old. I will definitely try NAC for her.
Okay this makes me more motivated to take my NAC thank youuuuuu❤
Thank you for the information and research you do. I will give this a try.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you found this helpful. Feel free to share later how it worked
Excellent information on NAC. Thank you very much for posting this.
You're welcome
@@iaminkaland Just a side note. I started taking NAC about 10 days ago. On May 31 I took my blood pressure reading, it was 154/97 which was close to what it has been on several Dr, visits. Tonight June 10, I took my blood pressure and it was 115/76. I was shocked. I have not had a reading like that in ages. Coincidence? I don't really think so. I am dieting, cutting way down on carbs, and a few other supplements, but I believe it might have been the NAC that brought the numbers down.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you have improvement!👍
Thanks for commenting and cheers :)
I've been supplementing with NAC almost daily for years now and it has helped me so much in so many ways!
I have been taking NAC because of Siim’s recommendations and recently he said to take it at night. Man do I sleep like a baby! Along with the glycine. I cannot thank you both enough for the many biohacks you both are doing great work.
Happy to hear and yes, I also take glycine and NAC together. Great combo :) Thanks for commenting.
Did it really help with insomnia?
Im starting this combo but its giving me the most terrible nightmares😫😫
@@iaminkaland can i take NAC,GLYCINE AND TAURIN as trio before bed?will it disturb my sleep?
Great video Inka...happy to hear that you are getting better
Thanks and thanks 🙂 glad that you commented
Great NAC intro, thanks. Have you also tried accupunture for the migraines. It was the only treatment that cured my dad. He had Menier's and suffered horrible debilitating migraines. Acupuncture was life changing ❤
I'm so sorry to hear about your dads conditions. I can confirm the experince with acupuncture. It's extremely helpful for me too :)
Thank you so kindly 😊
thanks for the comment :) Happy it was helpful
Thanks so much for this. I started NAC after watching this n other vids and it changed my life!!!!! I’ve been struggling with EBV for many years and along with acupuncture and other holistic stuff I now have some energy back!!!!!
I'm so happy to hear it :)
If you have EBV, look up Medical Medium books and videos! He is the number 1 expert on healing from that.
First time here. So glad you put some references, that saves us a lot of time, thanks! I notice your "About" says "neuropsychology". If you can, do cover more on the GABA vs Glutamate angle of psychosis. Also how cortisol and adrenaline seem to go together, based on the stress response we see. I am researching for family member. The existing pharmaceutical approach is almost totally focussed on Dopamine, but I think that is a 1-legged chair. There seems to be so many other factors or triggers. I noticed you listed a lot of "other" supplements in your search for a migraine solution.
Hi Vere, welcome. Thanks for the questions. yes, I have MSc in neuropsychology. If you're interested in the GABA / Glutamate balance, you might find the interview with Dr. Ellen Vora interesting. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/AGmshyWd6Nk/video.html
During HPA-axis stress response, there are several stress hormones secreted: cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, for instance.
I am so happy for you. Headaches are awful! Wonderful video!
Thank you!
thank you. horrible that you had so many migraines every month, but really amazing that NAC has helped as much as it has. I used to get about 3 migraines per month (can't imagine having 15!). I had seen various doctors and chiropractors and body workers over the years, but nothing helped. I had given up. But an unusual set of circumstances had me seeing a chiropractor who had a PEMF machine that I though would help. During my initial visit he didn't believe it would help, but he told me that his experience is that about 40% of migraine sufferers have muscle tension in the jaw, head, and around the ear, and for them it's that tension that can initiate a migraine. I turned out to be in that 40%. He released my jaw muscles (very painful!) and after 3 visits told me to come back as needed. That was nearly 3 years ago. I have not had one migraine since then! Back to NAC, though. I am glad to hear about your experience. We have NAC on hand (yes, we got some during covid) and I take it sporadically. After hearing of your experience, I may go back to taking it more regularly.
thank you for the comment. Thanks for sharing your experience with PEMF. Yes, tension in the neck and jaw can definitely start an attack. I have found a small massage ball extremely helpful for that; massages and foamrollers do not work, only this device.
It's reviewed in this video: czcams.com/video/0xqj87LSq-Y/video.html
You may try NAC for a period to see if anything changes :) Let me know the results.
@@iaminkaland thanks! I have used tennis balls on the floor under my back to release tight muscles in the back. However, this chiropractor pressed so hard on my jaw muscles to get them to release, I almost couldn't stand the pain! The second time I saw him, when he said, "I'm going to release your jaw muscles", I jokingly said, "Just don't break my jaw." He said, "I'm not pressing that hard", and he showed me by pressing on my wrist, and it wasn't that hard. It was just that my jaw muscles were hypersensitive from decades of never actually relaxing. So glad you found relief, and thanks again for the post. You've inspired me to add NAC back to my list of supplements. I had already been taking glycine. All the best!
This is interesting. Have both of you considered nervous system healing? I have a dysregulated nervous system due to excess stress/trauma and have started (somatic) healing practices of the nervous system. Once my body slowly started to release tension from the NS, I could feel the tensed NS in my pelvis area also tensing up in my jaw and other areas as well. There are some interesting videos on the jaw pelvis connection and somatic practices/(dance) therapies like Laban/Bartenieff, Ilan Lev Method (ILM), rewinding and Tamara Nazon has a nice one on her channel. I have noticed huge changes the past few years just by doing these excercises, getting ILM therapy, in combination with deep breathing and mindfulness/meditation. Old stuck energy/trauma that is getting released.
Had hormonal migraines for years. Would put me down for 2-3 days a month. Went through menopause and now completely gone! SO HAPPY!
aww that's so great to hear! I am so happy for you thanks for sharing.
Dose
So wasn’t due to NAC?
My bi-monthly migraines are gone due to menopause too. Have not trued nac.
Sounds like it was due to hormonal imbalance but I think NAC can help with that too…..
I got rid of my 30 year long Asthma and I helped others to achieve the same
Wow great to hear thanks for sharing
a lot can be from indoor cooking with GAS.... look it up
@@g.s.5868 Thanks. We don't cook with gas :)
How does gas combustion lead to asthma? Cooking with gas releases chemicals such as nitrogen dioxide3 and formaldehyde, which can cause inflammation in the airways and may worsen asthma symptoms.
@@g.s.5868 they made us paint them with the NATO colors without any protective gear . Year 1987. i had lung capacity of 91%.. which is quite restrictive in sports etc.. No i am at 97% to 98%

Glad to hear it was useful!
I’m a migraine sufferer and I just ordered this, you’ve convinced me and I’m so excited!
Migraines are horrible! I'm so sorry to hear that. I'd suggest you also take glycine 3 g each day - they support each other's functions. And one of the most effective for me was a Magnesium supplement of 400-600 mg each night. It's like prophylaxis. I really hope they help Amy! Let me know about the progress if you want :)
Some people suffer headaches from a chemical in plug-ins or other fragrances. Remove all plug-ins and freshners at home and in car for a week. Ask if they are being used if you work in an office. So many people are amazed that the headaches stop.
@@here2learn737 Yes synthetic fragrances are horrible triggers. Thanks for sharing and the reminder. I want to add all chemical fragrances to household products, paints, hair sprays, perfumes, etc. They can all trigger migraine. Natural scents are the safest🌻
How's the NAC working for you?
In general Migraine attacks is related to an issue with the Neck and/or Trigeminal Nerve (injury due to dental workup or compressions of the nerve or atypical facial pain). NAC works by regulating the Inflammatory cytokine in the body and tissues (Pro-inflammatory cytokines trigger or heighten inflammation).
You explain this better than the doctors on here
Glad to hear it was clear and understandable. I appreaciate it a lot :)
Doctors can explain how to take synthetic medication, they have no clue about natural supplements
Thanks for the video.
May I ask where you ordered your NAC?
Is there a powder in the capsules?
Thank you and have a nice Sunday!
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Thanks for the tip! I'm trying to wiggle between the frame and a good sound quality.
I'll get there eventually :D
This video just helped me decide if NAC is worth me getting and I think it definitely is. Been researching it for the last few days. Very informative so thank you very much. Also, not to be a weirdo but I just have to say your accent is adorable 😎 lol.
Glad to hear it helped.
And thank you, my accent is probably close to a typical Finglish (Finland and English) 🙊
Great Video Inka !
Thank you glad to hear it resonates
I've been blessed to come upon your channel, Inka. 🌸 I am a migraine sufferer, too. Increasing Magnesium years ago helped a lot. I also take NAC, but only 600 mg. I'm going to try 1.2 grams, too. Do you take one in the morning and one at night? Sorry, don't recall if you said so in the video. I LOVE your calming presentation. Thank you....💞
I have been using it for 6 months now and it has helped me with my sleep and anxiety. I take it before going to bed. Thanks!
Glad to hear :)
Hows it going now ?
Thank you for the video and all the helpful comments. How long did you take NAC before you started to notice results or changes?
Hi there. I believe I started noticing changes in about 2 months of use :)
I’ve been taking it for over a couple of years now and always found it amazing
Thanks for sharing your experience
thank you for sharing your experience

Glad it helped!
Been using glycine with NAC and Collagen for the double combo. Look and feel good.
Yup sounds amazing. Glutamine as well!
Why to use it with glycine ?
Some people suffer headaches from a chemical in plug-ins or other fragrances. Remove all plug-ins and freshners at home and in car for a week. Ask if they are being used if you work in an office. So many people are amazed that the headaches stop.
Yes, synthetic smells are horrible. My roommate used that when I was studying, and I had to beg her to stop because it always triggered a headache for me. Now I work from home, and everything here is natural, from household materials to cleaning products. and we have no fragrances in the car :)
I could never tolerate air fresheners in cars since I was a child. 🤢
And certain perfumes on people trigger headaches for me too.
thank you
Thank you so much for sharing, I suffer from Trigeminal neuralgia, I guess is the same thing you're referring as migraine. I'll try this for sure and let you know! ♥
Trigeminal neuralgia and migraine are slighly different but both involve the trigeminal nerve activity that causes pain. Let me know how it goes :)
I have been taking NAC for the last 3 weeks….im so excited!!
yay let me know what you've experienced!
@Yuri R. no i do not know why it would cause lung cancer…
@Yuri R. Thanks i will stop it and investigate further….again i thank you!
I also noticed it would make me naseous on an empty stomach. But I also had an issue with diahrrea even if I ate it with food. After reading about similar issues online I read that some people were able to combat this problem by taking it 30 minutes to 1 hour before going to bed. It definitely made a difference for me when I started taking it before bed instead of in the morning.
that's good to hear. for me too. :) I discuss it in the Q&A video
Thank you so much good info!
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah, I'm Estonian! And I also have this headache problem...
You should consider that fact that Estonia is located right on a border between see and continental climate zones!!! The climate zone border is not stagnant, it moves back and forth right on territory of Estonia. There fore we have a big and often atmospheric pressure shifts... I noticed that if a weather is the same(it's sunny, or its rainy) for a certain amount of time, then I have no headaches, when wheatear changes from rainy to sunny or backwards, then my head pains come back during that shifting period!
This problem started when I reached my puberty! So hormonal changes in my body made me more susceptible to atmospheric pressures shifts!
Mix one to one ratio of Glycine and NAC, and bam, you get GlyNAC ... Makes NAC work even better
I saw that too but what annoyed me is I bought the NOW NAC which has 600 mg capsules and the NOW Glycine is at 1000 mg per capsule before I knew about the 1:1 ratio.
NAC helped me clear my lungs after having Covid! I continue to take it for the health benefits! Excellent video! Thanks
🤣😂🤣
Awesome Video Thank You......
Thanks for the comment glad you liked it.
Great video with good information. You're very pretty as well 👍
Thank you for the comment
Please talk more about what NAC requires to be taken at the same time to optimise benefits, my understanding is that Vit C, Vit E and small amounts of Vit B6 need to be taken at the same time as NAC for it to function optimally. Also after a while it depletes metals such as copper and zinc, so the frequency of dose / amount of dose taken long term need to be considered carefully (as opposed to a short term need to treat a current illness with a higher dose). I started taking it every evening (600mg) after dinner to counter decades of minor alcohol abuse on my liver, as my health improved I have cut back to 3 nights a week and recently to 2 nights a week as a maintenance dose. If you need to take NAC daily (and it is not in response to a serious medical condition) it is probably a sign that you are taking some vitamins or metals in excess and that the main value of the NAC is it's ability to detoxify through chelation excessive metal or B6 / B9 / B12 levels (potentially other vitamins might be affected).
This is a great topic! thanks for sharing the question and your experience with it,
I got some NAC and I only took one pill because it appeared to give my toddler who breastfeeds a bad tummy, but that one pill netted me over a month of no pleurisy pain, and it's only lightly returned- a pain I'd had constantly since 2016. One pill! It also did something with my mood and that hasn't worn off, I feel "normal"..... looking forward to when I can take it again.....and come to think of it I haven't had a headache since that one pill and they were regular. Good stuff for sure 🤩
Thanks for sharing. a big effect for you from just one pill then. Did you do any other changes at that time perhaps?
@@iaminkaland Nope it was just that. I think that I was perhaps just super in need of it so the first one made a noticeable difference
Thank you so much for this information. Someone told me that I should take this product because I caught Covid in January 2023 and I’m still bedridden. I’ve lost my eyesight in my right eye and I can barely see out of my left. It’s like looking through window smeared with Vaseline. I used to jog 5 miles every day after work and now I can’t even take five steps without being out of breath and I’m tiny like you. Also I get migraines every day…..I take Imitrex. But could you tell me the strength that you were using in the product NAC. Thank you so much! What a blessing to have found you. Hugs, to becoming migraine free for…life…Take care, Susan from Canada. pss: You have a new subscriber ✨✨🌹✨✨
great information.
Glad to hear you found it useful
Thanks to you and yt for reminding me to take my NAC.. ended up watching vid too. New sub 🍻. I bought the powder first. It’s super acidic. Was really messing up my stomach. Mixed with 4-6oz of OJ. Bought 4oz for 3 or 4 bucks cheaper than a similar amount in pill form. Mistake… buy the pills. Way way easier to just take a pill than to have to mix it in OJ. It’ll effect the taste of smoothies for sure. Might make it taste better from the tanginess but I wouldn’t do it. Hope it helps me!.. I take 10-20k iu a day of vitamin D as well as cmz. O, and got K as well but the pills I have are 600 mg and it seems like about 2x the dose I’d prefer. Live and learn..
Hello welcome Damon! :) I hated the powder as well haha. I'm only using the pills.
Thanks for the info 😊
Welcome. Glad it resonates!
Awesome channel 😊 just subscribed 👍
aww glad to hear thank you and welcome 💕
Just looking at your face is a great testimony in itself, I always judge the face when looking at face serum stuff aswell hehe
your skin is glowing, I think the NAC helps with that also
It has helped me too
Thank you for this. I've had a nonstop headache from 3 neck injuries (last one in 2018 also split my head open) since Oct. 1, 1995 and no one has been able to help me after 110 doctors and healers. I definitely have neuro damage as the right side of my face droops. I'll give NAC a try. It seems that it should be taken with glycine to be the most effective.
So sorry to hear that- Headaches are horrible. Yes definitely with glycine. I take 3-10 g / day
Are you taking benfotiamine? Apparently it heals nerves.
Have you given NAC a try? If so did you see any improvement with your migraines?
Great video Inka. Did you experience with higher doses and also were you taking other supps at the time?
It’s said in the video :) yes and yes
Can you do a review on NAC glutathione?
Very helpful, thank you! Have you tried Valerian Root? I don't take it, but have been researching, as I've heard it's also helpful for migraines.
Hi thanks for the comment. I take it sporadically for sleep.
I've taken it sporadically for many years whenever I would drink alcohol, so as not to have any negative effects the next day. Very good for metabolizing alcohol and also good for the liver. Didn't know it had these other benefits, but good to hear. I might start taking it more regularly now.
Yes it works for reducing hangovers for some people due to boosting glutathione and helping the liver to detox from the acetaltehyde. Very good idea for use to use it when you take alcohol. I've understood it's the most effective taken BEFORE the alcohol intake, so that liver can focus on other things after alcohol intake.
Take before but not after alcohol. It can change to a pro-oxidant if take after alcohol. Wait 12 hours till the next day.
@@msr4455that's not true, you are mistaking it with taking it at the same time as drinking alcohol. If you wait at least 6 hours after drinking you will be fine.
Take 2000mg 45 minutes before you go out with a cup of coffee. The next day you'll be getting up energized believe it or not.
The reason NAC can help SOME people with OCD symptoms, is because repetitive behavior is a symptom of a Glutamate neurotransmitter issue. Which by the way, can be damaged by a concussion or TBI as well…. So in the case of post concussive syndrome causing OCD or Trichotillomania, NAC may not be enough to regulate the neurotransmitter issue. There is also some new research using a Alzheimer’s drug called Memantine for this as well- for the same reason, glutamate receptor.
Amazing I am going to try more NAC for migraines!!! ❤🙏 I have NAC in my daily supplement I wonder if it’s 1000G have to check ;) Thanks for the fyi on this
You're welcome - let me know how it goes :) I would even try 1200-1800 mg
Sorry to hear about your terrible migraines and the frequency of them. Sounds awful! In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) they say that all headaches are ‘Liver Headaches’ meaning they are somehow related to your liver function. How’s your diet? My health dramatically improved when I eliminated all dairy products and sugar. I average only about one headache per year now and if it’s bad I’ll take one or perhaps two aspirin. And then I’m good for another year!
yes I am addressing my liver health and NAC also helps that. But I do acupuncture and eat milk thistle as well etc:)
My diet is pretty perfect and my blood work is great.
Excellent! Inka pronounces "cysteine" as my professors of nutrition (my university degree is in nutritional science) taught us to pronounce it, unlike just about anyone else on CZcams! It's "SIS-tane," not "SIS-teen," to distinguish cysteine from the closely related but different amino acid cystine.
Simply, you are so pretty & the BEST💖💫✌
Thanks for the support
I've trided 2 tipe of NAC. The first caused me a little belly pain but only at empty stomack. The other have no side effect or my stomack get used to it idk. I only experienced a little better mood or energy lvl. i'm 31 without much health problems. But i believe in the long term benefits. Also i take occasionally Glycine what is amazing for a good sleep.
The main thing to longevity is reducing free radicals damage in the body
absolutely
I’ve been using NAC for allergies. It helped me during a really bad cold.
What kind of allergies do you have? Food allergies?
Thanks
Thanks for the comment :)
My migraines weren't that bad but they stopped when I started supplementing with Magnesium Glycinate. Thanks for sharing what worked for you.
I love that supplement too and it helped me also. Thanks for sharing your experience
Currently on day two of a whopper migraine.
I had been taking NAC daily, but haven’t been so good in the last week so this video remainder me to get back on track because I probably wouldn’t be suffering now had I been diligent.
Also realise I haven’t been taking a high enough dose. 1x600mg daily so I’m going to try two.
🙏
I am sorry to hear about your migraine, I hope it resolves soon! For me, NAC took about few weeks to get relief. But for on going-migraine I found these very useful: 600 mg magnesium, ginger extract or tea, peppermint essential oil roller, cold hat (migraine hat)
Thank you so much 🥰
@@PlanetRonnie ❤
GlyNac - Take 600mg NAC and 3/4 teaspoon of Glycine first thing in the morning with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, this will help increase absorption even further. Then 600mg again in the evening at least 2 hours after food. Even if the bottle says "with food", take it on an empty stomach, any isolated amino acid should be taken without food, otherwise absorption is negatively affected by other competing amino acids.
have you considered the possibility that this BS supplement does not work? Well, other than having you contribute to a $30 billion dollar industry it doesn't really do anything.
Good video. My personal experience with NAC is 1200mg and up to 2400mg per day with overall energizing effects.
Thanks for the comment. yes, I share your experience.
I'm hoping this will help with my brain fog and lethargy/fatigue. Nothing else has.
Thanks for the video.
I hope so too!
I also have another video about brain fog, maybe that'll help too: czcams.com/video/RRZnBRnVNro/video.html
@@iaminkaland Thank you.
You might want to look into NACET - a version of NAC with higher bioavailability
Interesting. Thanks for sharing
Maybe you have already looked into it but you could have a snp in your MTHFR gene.
It needs a lot of riboflavin (B2) to function properly.
And methylated B12 and/or methylfolate as these are the endstages of what the gene has trouble producing.
And riboflavin happens to be one of the vitamins that is supposed to help with migraines.
Also you need glycine to balance methylgroups and balance salts. Glycine and NAC together create glutathione. It is better to take the precursors so that the body will use it where it is needed.
Liposomal glutathione will go into every cell, also the ones that do not need it and it could wreck some processes. But it could help in case of high need.
You also need selenomethionine for production of glutathione. This was key when I was doing a detox and took away my headache that would otherwise start coming up after taking some antibacterial herbs and more.
Also you could try R-alpha-lipoic-acid as it detoxes heavy metals as well and helps glutathione to stay in the body longer.
Lots of good tips, thank you :)
I don't have MTHFR mutation, but my methylation is still low for some reason. I take glycin.
I'll definitely be looking into selenomethionine and R-alpha-lipoic-aicd - thanks.
Great vid but please viewers note - NAC may impair blood clotting. If you have a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia or you take blood-thinning medications, you should avoid taking NAC supplements.
I take NAC and collagen peptides containing large part of glycine.
