NAC should be taken with vitamin C in a 1:3 ratio as far as I recall to avoid the development of kidney stones. So, if you get 600mg of NAC, you need 1.8g of vitamin C, which is way too much. There was a study showing mitochondrial damage of viatmin doses higher than 500mg, so your max daily NAC intake should be 167mg, which is too little to do anything as NAC alone... Or maybe supplement with a kidney stone breaker such as Chanka Piedra. Supplements are such a messy business!
- vegardx 4y agoI'm not sure why it would be problematic to take dosages of 2g or more of vitamin C?
- nikolay 4y agoWell, there was a study ("a study finds"). Anyway, jokes aside, I can dig it out, but, in general, if something is good, then taking more of it does not increase its benefits. On the contrary, every nutrient has a range, which could also vary from a person to a person, below or above those thresholds you not only are not receiving any benefits, but you can also be doing damage. Have you heard the saying "too much of a good thing"? From "kale has good nutrients", we're not selling kilos of kale juice, which, for sure, has tons of detriments especially on their pitiful thyroids! For example, a lot of people don't know it, but vitamin C increases your blood sugar. Not to mention the other type of kidney issues with too much vitamin C.
