I currently take NAC. My understanding of the body’s detox/elimination process is that glutathione is absolutely required in that process. Once a molecule of glutathione is used up during detox/elimination it needs to be replaced by the body (or by supplements). Since I can’t be sure that my body is able to make glutathione itself I am taking the glutathione precursor NAC to help my body along (apparently the supplement glutathione shouldn’t be taken by mercury toxic people).

If you are interested, the above process is outlined in great detail in Sherry Rodgers ‘Detox or Die’ book.

I would suggest trying NAC for yourself and see if your body has a positive or negative response to it.

Hope this helps. Cheers, Karen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
