N-Acetyl Cysteine cleaves disulfide bonds by converting them to two sulfhydryl groups. This action results in the breakup of mucoproteins in lung mucus, reducing their chain lengths and thinning the mucus, improving conditions such as bronchitis and flu. Double-blind research has found that N-Acetyl Cysteine supplements improved symptoms and prevented recurrences in people with chronic bronchitis. N-Acetyl Cysteine at a dosage of 1,200 mg per day helps to prevent Influenza infection, reduces the symptoms of existing Influenza infection and reduces the duration of Influenza infections.

I’m about to pop my first daily dose of Jarrow NAC, it has been a Godsend at treating my Morgellons. I do take it with Vitamin C by the way. The stuff is incredible, I take it on an empty stomach but Jarrow is slow release as to keep it in the blood stream longer. I also drink plenty of water with it. Matter of fact, time to take it now, ttyl guys and good health to all !
Thanks for the info.
