In today’s video, I want to talk to you about my personal experiences with the supplement acetylcysteine, also known as NAC or Knack. NAC is a supplement that helps the body produce more glutathione, which is an important antioxidant that protects cells from damage. It is commonly taken to support liver health, reduce inflammation, and protect against oxidative damage. NAC is also used to treat conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and COPD.
This supplement has been a game changer for me. Some of you might know that Amazon took it off their shelves and the FDA tried to ban it, but thankfully that did not succeed. I just want to share my experiences with this supplement and the experience of someone I was close with. About seven years ago, this person was experiencing severe ticks and was diagnosed with Tourette’s. I did some research and found that NAC could potentially help with OCD-like symptoms commonly associated with Tourette’s.
I found a systematic review of clinical trials and case reports from 2015 that analyzed the effectiveness of NAC. The studies showed minimal adverse effects and a notable reduction in the severity of symptoms, although more studies are needed. I recommended NAC to this person, and they noticed a significant reduction in ticks. However, it’s important to note that NAC is not a magic pill and should be part of a multi-pronged approach to health conditions.
In my friend’s case, changing his diet and identifying dietary triggers for the ticks was also crucial. Years later, he is doing much better with very few symptoms. It’s sad when people think there is nothing they can do about their condition, but there are often measures that can be taken to improve symptoms. Higher glutathione levels and detoxing the body seem to be key factors in managing Tourette’s symptoms.
On a personal level, I take NAC when I’m sick, as it helps me recover faster. I haven’t noticed any other effects, but it has been beneficial in that aspect. I also take NAC before or after getting an X-ray or if I take Tylenol for a headache, as it helps clear those substances from my system. NAC is also used in hospitals to treat Tylenol overdoses.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that there are sales going on for NAD boosting supplements. I recently started taking NR, and there has been a price drop for it. Additionally, there is a sale for NAD Complete and liposomal NR by Renew by Science. I trust Pro Health Longevity for NAD supplements as well.
In conclusion, NAC has been a beneficial supplement in my personal experience and in helping someone with Tourette’s. It’s important to remember that everyone is different, and a multi-pronged approach to health conditions is necessary. Don’t give up on finding ways to improve your symptoms and overall health.
