The article was published in 10-2019. The only reference to 'mg' (not milligrams) I can find was for magnesium chloride. Good question. The amount may be relevant, eg too much niacin, liver trouble. Too little, pellagra. Etc.

I remember Dr Seheult (of medcram) taking somewhere between 600-1200mg (daily) of NAC during the early covid pandemic. Perhaps he's posted an update on the subject.

Edit: the FDA was aiming to regulate NAC (to Rx only) in 2020-2021, resulting in Jarrow (a large producer) discontinuing it from their product line. It became difficult to find for several months, from any producer, anywhere. Many outlets removed it from inventory.

I've not read or heard anything lately. Maybe the FDA has been sidetracked with other efforts to regulate something of equal or greater evil. Rx hotdogs maybe. Prescription cigarettes. Pfizer Transfats, or... pfas marmalade.




NAC is back on Amazon, so whatever happened may have stopped.


You can buy Doctor's Best NAC pretty much everywhere.
