Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It was hard to tell if the NAC was working. But after almost 2 months the results are in. My waistline has shrunk 1.5 inches. And I haven't lost any weight. First, I have three medical conditions that crank up my stress. So no matter how much I meditate, no matter how many adaptogenic herbs I take, no matter the lifestyle, my stress levels will be high and stay that way. What about NAC? NAC is N-acetyl-L-cysteine. It is one of the necessary precursors to glutathione. Glutathione is THE MASTER STRESS ENZYME. It regenerates all of the other stress control/antioxidant enzymes in your body. In times of stress, you can strip all of the glutathione in your body. When this happens, it sure is nice to support your glutathione. Do you need anything else for glutathione support? Yes. I recommend magnesium glycinate. You need magnesium to produce all those stress enzymes in the body and in times of stress, you can burn through all your magnesium too. Anything else? oh ARRGGG! Glutathione is made from NAC (you got), glutamate (go get), and glycine (you got from the magnesium glycinate). So why is losing 1.5" from the waist a good sign that NAC is working? Stress puts fat around your waistline. And it won't budge. I lost 50lbs about 2 years ago but my waistline dropped from 36" to 34". 20 years ago, my weight was the same but my waistline was well under 30". I have a big ole stress belly I do. And, alas, alas, since this stress is triggered by my genetics, I'm stuck taking NAC for the rest of my life. That was a couple of years ago. Then my doctor suggested I try taking 2.5 - 3.0 gm per day. After about a month I noticed my compulsions were gone. I was left with the odd sensation of having nothing that needed doing. I was not sure I liked it so I stopped the NAC and boom! compulsive as ever. Back on compulsions gone.
