How do I use NAC?Updated 2 months ago

Take 1 capsule daily with food and 8 oz of water or as directed by your healthcare professional. Capsule may be opened and contents mixed into juice or applesauce.

NAC may cause burning of the stomach in some people. If people do not experience burning, then they can take it on an empty stomach or with a snack. When we say take with food, we're not saying with a meal, it's simply a bite or two of food to help prevent the potential burning.

We also say drink 8 oz of water when taking NAC because if it gets stuck in the throat or esophagus anywhere, it can cause burning. Drinking a full cup of water can prevent this.

Children and pregnant, lactating, or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare practitioner prior to use. Do not use if tamper seal is damaged. If you are experiencing acetaminophen poisoning or acetaminophen overdose, seek medical care immediately.
