Ulterior Health

We have updated the side effects of n-acetylcysteine.

I am amazed at how may distributors of the various products, even in the health food stores will blindly tell how wonderful they are and there is nothing to worry about. They do not realize that they could be inadvertently practicing medicine with out a license. Even worse, their suggestions could harm their patients.

It is always wise to run anything you want to take by your doctor or pharmacist. Always.

Why?

One example is N-Acetylcyteine or NAC. Some people are potentially allergic to NAC. In the case of diabetics, NAC and its sulfhydryl metabolites, like other sulfhydryl-containing substances, could produce a false-positive result in the nitroprusside test for ketone bodies used in diabetes.

Check out some of the additional reasons to be careful in the link below.

First, this is not an anti-NAC post. NAC is a truly wonderful suppplement. Only be smart about how you use it, especially if you are already on other medications, end up in the hospital in an emergency, or are taking it for health reasons.

The glutathione boosting effect of NAC is associated with treating or helping over 69 different diseases or conditions. Don’t let it get a bad rap because of not using it right.

Good health to you.
