ALA and NAC question

I can only speak for myself but i was always taking between 600-2400mg of NAC and 6-1200mg of ALA

I was taking 2x600mg of NAC twice a day, 2400mg. But have reduced it to just 600mg twice a day

May I ask what the benefit of NAC and ALA are? I'm interested in learning about any supplements that may help. Thanks very much.

I take 1,000m g NAC twice a day. No ALA for me, due to mercury and Andy Cutler’s view on it.

Edit: My bad. That was the old brand. The new brand is 600mg capsules, so 1,200 mg twice a day.

Are you doing or considering ACC?

Not at this point, Mark. I have too many other issues. Mold is.my primary problem and now I am having unmistakable and scary symptoms of MCAS. Have had long term gut issues, so leaky gut is most likely occurring.

Too bad. I wish you and others would reconsider.

NAC itself, while a good supplement, is not tolerated by us due to its high sulfur. Some can., most can't. Gives a reaction similar to a herx. So yes what i use to call a herx, ive learned it in some cases a negative reaction to a supplement.

Sorry i can't be more specific. I no longer try to get too technical and will avoid getting drawn into a debate on a supplement or protical.

Hope to see some of you there.
