Hi,

Reading about NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine), has anyone tried or looked into it? It encourages glutathione, which Ive read some conflicting things about regarding UC, but this seems to be a promising treatment, at least in rats where its been induced.

Have been taking it for years. While I do not see any external benefit, I take it as an insurance policy as it repletes lost glutathione in the body.

Jarrow's NAC Sustain is what I take. Do not get powder or capsules. There is no point in taking oxidized NAC (which happens every time you expose powder or capsules to the air.
