I know some people who will take glycine but substitute alpha-lipoic-acid for NAC. I did take ALA until recently. I saw a youtube in which it was stated that ALA is good for diabetics but not so good for for people without diabetes.

You can’t find NAC on amazon because they recently took it off. Why? There were no clinical reasons for it. Rather, there was a regulatory rule change.

Amazon confirmed this week it’s in the process of removing from its website dietary supplements containing NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine). FDA last year asserted in warning letters that NAC couldn’t be lawfully marketed in dietary supplements because it was first studied as a drug in 1963.May 6, 2021

I’m not sure I understand your issues with NAC. Can you provide a bit more color?

I am not sure what you are referring to when you suggest that I have “issues” with NAC.

I’ve posted more stories on the benefits of NAC than practically any other Freeper, so I’m curious.

Can you elaborate on that? I take ALA also; at times am pre-diabetic.
