Melanie,
No problem it has been great writing back and forth! I am excited for you with the NAC. I secretly hope you take inositol for the long term as I think the duo of NAC and inositol, one targeting serotonin and the other glutamate could be a great combination.
Yes my pdoc will never recommend something to me unless it is thoroughly tested and he has seen results. He is great like that. Dr. Pittenger, the man who pioneered the study of NAC is available for email as well. I have corresponded with him about the results with NAC as well. I dont have his email address anymore but if you google it he always was kind enough to get back to me. There is a full report of his findings available that I have read. Google it for sure and read it.
I can tell you first hand that my anxiety has plummeted since being on it. I am actually a proponent of 3600mg a day as that is the dose that really knocks my anxiety out. Perhaps if/when (fingers crossed) you start to feel benefits from it you can try 3600mg and see what happens. Swanson also price matches everything so you could do that through them since you are already buying the NAC from them and could kill two birds with one stone.
GMP (good manufacturing practices), which means it is third party tested, will be listed on the bottle or you can contact the company and see if they are.
No problem about the questions, bring them on as we are both helping each other. :)
Joseph
