If you are talking about PharmaNAC effervescent tablets, then yes. But they have been discontinued.Is NAC in tablet form the same NAC as the fizzy tablets you use for better coughing?

Not sure. But the effervescent tablets are the most stable form of NAC.Why was PharmaNAC discontinued?

Unfortunately, it was PharmaNAC. It was discontinued a few years ago and I have yet to find an alternate source.What is the brand name of the effervescent tablet you use?

I think the fact that each tablet usually comes separately sealed helps to stop them degrading. Most seem to contain aspartame though.Not sure. But the effervescent tablets are the most stable form of NAC.
What is the amount of Selenium and NAC that you take? I'm going to try it.My experience with NAC is that it works tremendously if you add Selenium. I can't remember why I did it - but it makes a huge difference.

Selenium is a micronutrient, and is therefore essential to the functioning of your body in small amounts. It's an essential component in many of the antioxidant enzymes used to prevent excitotoxicity and cancer.Selenium, without looking at the periodic table, sounds like one of those scary radioactive elements on the bottom right that'll make you grow a thumb out of your forehead
NAC is one of the few supplements I am still taking. It helped me well with the elevated liver enzymes at least. This was very nice and unexpected. Actually it protects my liver while I am drinking, this is incredible. No surprise it is clinically used to save the liver from fatal poisoning with Paracetamol.What's the current consensus on NAC? Are people still taking it? Is it having any effect? Do you notice the protective properties?
I am considering adding it to my regimen. I would love to hear any recommended brands or providers!
Hi there!Can anyone recommend a brand that doesn't have a lot of other "stuff" in it?
Surprisingly I have not tried this supplement yet. Have you noticed any, if even minimal, improvement from using it?The brand of NAC that I am using is the one from Thorne, which you may find here.
I have not yet reintroduced it after having halted all my supplements (besides Magnesium and Melatonin) a couple weeks ago, so I can't definitely speak to its effect. I do know, based on research, that it is primarily a tool to protect your hearing. Not sure I've seen many people claim a reduction in their symptom, but it may very well be possible. It's mostly one of those things I want to use to ensure this never gets any worse.Surprisingly I have not tried this supplement yet. Have you noticed any, if even minimal, improvement from using it?
I know NAC is highly recommended on the forum.
Although I've read that it may prevent tinnitus, not treat or improve it.
Curious what your experience has been.
I understand. I had actually started taking Zinc and Vitamin D a couple months prior to my tinnitus onset. Trying to boost my COVID-19 immunity. Little did I know COVID-19 was the least of my troubles... I may get a hold of some later on. Currently I'm only taking Magnesium Oxide with Ashwagandha and Fish Oil. I cut all other supplements a couple weeks ago when I started the Prozac.Zinc is something I had been taking before onset and have started again, but that was for other things, and I do notice benefits with it.
Not a bad idea! The whole world could benefit from some COVID-19 immunity. Maybe then things would all go back to normal?I understand.

NAC is one of the amino acids that make up the tri-peptide (3 amino acids) glutathione, which is the body's foremost detoxification antioxidant, and which is able to make in the liver. A doctor I saw at one time used to work in the ER, and he told me that if somebody came in with some kind of toxic exposure of any kind, the first thing they would do was give them high amounts of NAC.Anybody have experience with this or a clue what this is?
I take NAC and Astaxanthin daily, and I've noticed the same thing! I'll be able to read tiny font way down the road. For this reason alone I always recommend these supplements; even if they don't help your ears, they're so good for your eyes!I've been experimenting with NAC lately and I've come across an interesting phenomenon which I can't quite explain. I call it "NAC eyes". Whenever I take NAC, the next day, I notice that my eyesight is sharper and better, and I have to strain less to see things that are far away. I'm short-sighted and wear glasses.
