Jarrow N-A-C Sustain 600 mg, Dietary Supplement, 60 Tablets

I made sure to take this for a few months before posting a review to be sure that it was the supplement that was helping me. I’ve had weird autoimmune symptoms for years now that reached their all time worst this year. I was having chronic hives, bad sleep, sweats, joint pain, bloating, eye floaters, itching, tingling ,HORRIBLE heart palpitations etc. my doctors couldn’t figure it out. My thyroid was a little off but nothing major and I had estrogen dominance but not severely. They tried to treat those issues and my symptoms only worsened. I found someone who was having similar symptoms to mine and she said her doctor thought she had something called MCAS - mast cell activation syndrome. NAC is recommended along with Quercetin to help treat MCAS. The first week of taking NAC, I only had to take my heart medicine (atenolol) once that week when I usually take it 1-2x a day. I didn’t want to get excited only to get let down so I continued taking it and monitoring my condition. It has now been three months and I have not taken a single heart medicine since. My palpitations are now few and far between. I used to wake up every night sweating with my heart racing through the roof and that hasn’t happened since supplementing with NAC. My hives are not as chronic and my sleep quality has improved and I have more energy. I am so thankful I found out about this supplement and I hope my experience can help anyone going through something similar.

I had been looking into bettering my overall health as well as losing some difficult belly weight and had come across this supplement I'd never heard of and how it might help with clearing the liver and getting rid of some fat. I'd also seen where it had some potential benefit with moods, but that was secondary, and finally it being mentioned with thinning mucous. It's still early to say anything definitive on the liver aspect, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the subtle changes in my mood. I'm not saying it's a "happy pill", its more like I feel more aware of my mood, more rational, in situations where I'd feel anxious or stressed, I feel more like I'm weighing the situation with more perspective.

This is the most important review I have ever written. 🌻 2400mg (4 total NAC capsules a day) NAC is proven to cut the relapse rate for ALL substance use disorder by half, and that is without adding in treatment / strategies. This sustained ~7 hr release further improves on these results. To improve results further, consider pairing with Solaray’s “dopabean” (velvet bean) for groundbreaking mental health and addiction support. I will call it DPB for short. Conclusion: the peak-research supplementation strategy that changed my life: 2 capsules of DPB plus 2 of this sustained NAC (4 pills total), taken upon waking, and another dose (4 pills total) halfway through the day. Other supports: CES Calm Ultra (provider) plus Pulsetto fit (amazon) for stress, anxiety, and mood. Yes, it is a $600 investment all in all, but it’s basically a prescription computer that you own for life. A probiotic and multivitamin could help, but the combo of 4x DPB + 4x NAC a day simply is a must for honestly basically all mental health situations… at least as an adjunct, and is truly incredible after just a few days (3 on average for serious results). I am basically healed. NAC suppresses the glutamate spike that is the signature for compulsion (amygdala over-activation). Jesus Christ, I believe, showed me these as I humbly prayed and sought miracles in faith. Best addiction treatment: ARP program of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (free). If you are of another faith, please don’t feel like I am ignoring you or your beautiful legacy of faith. They welcomed me when I was not of their faith and I recovered. I brought their treatment program into my local jail and the deputys told us it was the best one they have ever seen. Most important, please don’t let my writings on faith stop you from trying the 4x DPB + NAC. I actually take a single third dopabean in the early evening for a total of 5 of those. I love pulsetto and CES, with absonic electro conductive gel (no residue or smell). They clear stress hormones in 5 min. Daily use lowers baseline stress by up to 50%. Hope this helps.

I've been using this product since I had heard a lot about benefits of glutathione- but glutathione is generally more expensive and I didn't know which form to take... well, NAC is the precursor, so I figured, why not try this first, especially at this price. So- I've gone through maybe 3 bottles now and I've really been impressed with this product. I take a bunch of other ones and switch them up- but I try to make one change at a time to know what's working and what's not. The effects of this product came in an interesting way- so I take these at night figuring my body could probably use this as it repairs and detoxifies at night. What I noticed was that every night I took these, I seemed to lose that 1-2 lbs of stubborn weight I had always wondered why I couldn't lose (most likely due to toxicity, maybe from just daily exposure of being alive....). I had forgotten to to take them some nights, and those nights, I didn't see the little bit of extra weight loss. Anyway- that was at the beginning- fast forward a few months and my weight is almost always where I feel most balanced. I am not as consistent in taking these as before because I feel more stabilized- but when I know I've eaten something or been exposed to more than usual, I make sure to take them. It was pretty subtle at first, but as long as your body has the ability to convert NAC to glutathione, this seems like a great way to keep toxins flowing out of your system. And toxins can cause inflammation (and weight gain)- so if you have those stubborn bit of weight that doesn't budge, think worth the $15 to see if it helps. I haven't tried any other forms of NAC because this one worked for me so well.

It is a bit different compared to regular NAC, like it is slow acting, really slow. Regular NAC, you get the clear mind feeling about an hour after you take it. This one is more of a slow drip; it is not as sedating but will last you a lot longer compared to regular NAC.

Good product, but I must cut in half to swallow.

Helps keep the organs working right!!

I started taking a 600mg pill of this once a day, two months ago, I take a half dozen vitamin supplements, most of them antioxidants, to slow the progression of AMD, and added this to the list for that reason. I also have COPD, and a lot of lung damage from industrial pollution and about a month ago noticed that my breathing had improved. Two months after starting taking NAC, it's still improving. Got curious, did a deeper search on this stuff and yes, it's known for helping improve breathing and a lot of other things. I'm realistic, I can't say for certain that the NAC did this, but I don't know what else it could be, either. I'm 87, having my lungs improve so much at this age is a pretty fine thing. UPDATE. It's now September, 6 months since I started taking NAC and the improvement in my lung function is dramatic. I have no doubt now that it's the NAC that's doing it. I wish I'd known about this YEARS ago.
