There’s a study that shows nac in particular doesn’t just reduce muscle protein synthesis, but completely negates the normal increase after exercise.

Any antioxidant will do that if you take them around or during exercise but it’s negligible. NAC has also shown to improve muscle function in studies. It was once placed in pre-workouts due to this.

All in all it’s one of the few tried and proven supps that work. But I would use it away from workouts for optimal results.

You don’t take it around workout time. Simple.

I do do this, usually just skip take nac/glutathione and boron right when I wake up with some l glutamine, pre workout I take l tyrosine, acetyl l carnatine, beet root energy blend, l citrulline, beta alanine, mushroom complex mix I make myself, then skip berberine post workout but have alpha lipoic acid with creatine and magnesium and more beet root powder. More Nac and Glutathione with Turmeric before bed. Have a lot of blackberries everyday too, probably 3-4 cups.

enough to counteract the effects of how much thc effects my liver enzymes for some reason, likely due to being allergic to it and my liver seeing it as a toxin is my guess.

I have some NAC but completely forgot about it. I don't take supps anymore and haven't for a while. I get everything I need through diet, but I do have some different vitamins and minerals if I start to see deficiencies play out.

Although I've seen the research on NAC and might actually start taking it again for a while. Legit one of the better things you can take. Always felt really refreshed when taking it.

Before I know I'll be drinking more than 1 or 2 or planning on day drinking with the fellas.... Ill pop some NAD and Glutathione.

Then before bed, I'll down about 20oz of water with Aminos and salt, take an allergy pill & a few tums.

Always wake up feeling fine.

If you have homozygous CBS genes anything with sulphur is a no no. Glutathione is a powerful supplement and some people cant tolerate it with this common polymorphism.
