NAC is a precursor to glutathione, a ubiquitous ant-oxidant. Glutathione can protect the mitochondria from genetic mutations (damage) that destroy the mitochondrial structure and function as a redox electron transport chain. It is this process that produces the energy used by every cell in the body via ATP metabolism. In other words, the benefit of NAC can be invisible at first as the mitochondria gradually recover.
I wish I knew what the ideal dosage is for NAC. I vaguely remember feeling worse at the higher dosages, so I stopped taking it. I am intrigued by Bleauberry's recommendations. I might give it another trial at lower dosages.
