What are your thoughts about NAC?

**itln stln** · 02-18-2008 01:20 PM

Does anybody use this? Is it a staple for post-workout? Is it worthless?

NAC is awesome. It is part of my vitalizer multiple. Great antioxidant.

**jmh80** · 02-18-2008 04:02 PM

I use it - Beast turned me on to it a year or 2 ago for post-WO.

**Zombie** · 02-18-2008 04:24 PM

i use it at 1.6gr ED divided in 2 doses along with some extra Vit C and some Milkt histle

way, way too much. It takes only 600 mg/day to increase hypoxic ventilatory response in humans.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC)..safe? - ImmInst Forums pay special attention to what 'zoolander' has to say.

i would keep your dose @ 300mg daily.. more only if your on/post cycle

well i havent had any problems with that dose. as long as i keep myself well hydrated theres no problem on taking that much.

you obviously did not read that link... you would not 'feel' the problems from it

a whey protein high in glycomacropeptides would be a more effective & safer cysteine donor than NAC. jarrow and vpx make them, off the top of my head.

**jmh80** · 02-18-2008 10:01 PM

What proteins would those be specifically?

What would I look for - apart from what Zoolander said, undenatured.

**John Smeton** · 02-18-2008 10:05 PM

Ive used Nac for three years now. Great anti-ox! raises Cysine(sp) levels

**jmh80** · 02-18-2008 10:18 PM

Wait a sec - I just realized this was done on mice.

I'll hold off on stopping NAC completely until I see something done on humans.

Sorry - mice aren't the greatest model.

human physiology and animal physiology are very similar in some aspects... if you take nac daily, i would read through the whole thread in detail...

point being is that the benefits of nac are because its an effective and stable cysteine donor.. and there other safe and effective cysteine donors. i quit taking it because i respect zoolanders expertise, and HE quit taking it.

Hi NAC is one of my favorite supplements along with R-ALPHA LIPOIC ACID, I going to be writing a article on these supplements at my website within a week or two.

NAC can keep you awake if taken late in the evening so be wary of that.

You can find my website under :my homepage,in my profile, if interested.

Good first post!

I believe the recommended daily (non-therapeutic) dosage is 600mg. It is recommended, however, to take at least two times as much Vitamin C with it to help NAC maintain stability. As Alpha Lipoic Acid is both water and fat-soluble, it should also be able to play the Vitamin C role. When I supplement with NAC, I add water-soluble vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and fat-soluble Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate).

Aren't there studies that say that we should avoid anti-ox post workout?

anti-ox could reduce the inflammatory processes/signaling that is essential for muscle growth??

I had a bottle of NAC a while ago from a different manufacture than the one I am using now and I remember it saying to take after workout. I have read articles saying it can hinder test production taking after workout and that Zinc and NAC counteract each other leading to Zinc excretion.

Supplement manufacturers are not to be trusted, IMHO.
