N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a supplement form of cysteine.
Consuming adequate cysteine and NAC is important for a variety of health reasons — including replenishing the most powerful antioxidant in your body, glutathione. These amino acids also help with chronic respiratory conditions, fertility and brain health.
NAC can relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions by acting as an antioxidant and expectorant, loosening mucus in your air passageways.
As an antioxidant, NAC helps replenish glutathione levels in your lungs and reduces inflammation in your bronchial tubes and lung tissue.
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience long-term oxidative damage and inflammation of lung tissue, which causes airways to constrict — leading to shortness of breath and coughing.
NAC supplements have been used to improve COPD symptoms, exacerbations and lung decline.
In a one-year study, 600 mg of NAC twice a day significantly improved lung function and symptoms in those with stable COPD.
Right, go get an unreliable test that paints every virus with the same brush. The universal hammer for the universal nail.
Oh-my-chron!
I got my “booster” and the regular flu shot at the same time (flu shot in left arm, booster in the right arm). The flu shot was the more painful of the two. Left arm sore for two days, nothing in right arm. No noted clot shot effects. The vision in my third eye is getting better.
2nd to last sentence:
“Getting vaccinated helps reduce the spread of the viruses.”
Thanks for the PROPAGANDA!!!
If you can’t tell the difference, does it actually matter?
How can an antioxidant, like NAC, protect against a virus, which is not an oxidant?
It makes the mucus, especially in the lungs, less viscous, and therefore more easily expelled. Expelled mucus means expelled viri
Read up on it. I’m not a doctor, so all I can say is with NAC, I’ve had a lot less coughing and post nasal drip, which helps me sleep better. This benefit is something known from the pre-Covid days. My doctor told me about it.
