- jamroom 5y agoAre you talking about N-Acetyl Cysteine? Something like this? https://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-nac-n-acetyl-cysteine-600-mg-100-caps https://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-nac-n-acetyl... When did it become illegal? I've used it before and was unaware of that.
- iammisc 5y agoI've used it before as well. Here is a story about the FDA and NAC: https://www.naturalproductsinsider.com/regulatory/crn-petition-requests-fda-reverse-position-nac https://www.naturalproductsinsider.com/regulatory/crn-petiti... Honestly, I haven't used NAC in ~2 years. Have just heard about the drama from friends.
- nick__m 5y agoThey seems to have banned products claiming to cure hangovers https://www.fda.gov/food/cfsan-constituent-updates/fda-sends-warning-letters-seven-companies-illegally-selling-hangover-products https://www.fda.gov/food/cfsan-constituent-updates/fda-sends... but Nac is still available. Amazon had an overly broad interpretation of those letters but it appears to be available there : https://www.iherb.com/pr/Now-Foods-NAC-600-mg-250-Veggie-Caps/694 https://www.iherb.com/pr/Now-Foods-NAC-600-mg-250-Veggie-Cap...
