A while back someone posted that 600mg of NAC daily is really good to take, especially if you smoke. I did some searching on the net and found that if you take NAC you need to take triple as much vitamin C as you do NAC. Has anyone else read this and is this true?
I can't take a lot of C and so this means I can't take the NAC?
I've read that vitamin C can cause diahrrea and I have IBS so I stay away from stuff that can flare it up.

I don't take extra vit. C and I take the 600mg. of NAC.

Thanks!
The website I saw this on said it can become toxic and might cause brain damage if not taken with C.
No idea if that's true or not but I hope not!

My multivit. has some C in it, but not a huge dose.
I'm "brain damaged" already! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
