FDA THREATENS TO BAN NAC.


⁉️WHY?


💊FDA declared NAC is not a legal dietary supplement. In 1963, NAC was approved as a drug and per the federal law, any substance approved as a drug before it was sold as a supplement cannot be sold as a supplement.


❓But why now?


🛡Maybe because NAC may protect the body from toxins (helps to detox heavy metals and support kidney/liver function).


🛡May because NAC supports the immune system.


🦠You see N-Acetyl-Cysteine is a precursor for Glutathione, the master antioxidant in the body. In one study, NAC supplementation restored nearly all natural killer cells (part of the immune system).


🛡Or maybe because NAC helps to relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions.


🫁NAC can act like an antioxidant and expectorant, loosening mucus in the airways. As an antioxidant, NC can support glutathione levels in the lung and reduce inflammation in the bronchial tubes and lung tissue.


🫁NAC supplementation has been used to support COPD symptoms and lung decline.


🫁One study showed that 600 mg of NAC (2x a day) significantly improved lung function symptoms of COPD.


Chronic bronchitis can also benefit from NAC.


🧠Or maybe it’s because NAC can help with glutamate in the brain (neurotransmitter). NAC has been used to support mental health imbalances.


💊Or maybe because NAC is used for excess acetaminophen usage (Tylenol).


🔥Or maybe it’s because NAC may prevent free radical damage and reduce oxidative stress and chronic inflammation (one adverse, downstream effect of the J A B).


✨Or maybe it’s because it can reduce thyroid antibodies, promote gut health, eliminate bad bacteria, and enhance bone formation.


🤷🏻‍♀️Who knows… (I can make guesses)


⛑Until then, you can find NAC at the NwJ Store (for increased needs) or you can eat more meat for the precursors of NAC and Glutathione.

    Hi Judy,
    I’m a big fan! Thank you for all you do. Would you recommend NAC to someone who’s been carnivore for 4 months but has stress belly fat (and real fat) ?
