Can someone please provide an update with how they are doing with NAC? Thanks!

Back on the Carlton NAC. The Jarrow time release did not seem to work as well. Not a good day for my eyes yesterday.

Sorry, the brand is Carlson Labs not Carlton.

Ok, guys...I started on the NAC again today after missing a day and my eyes returned to normal! They are normal as I am writing this! Wow, I hope this continues! I also switched to 'Jarrow Formula Sustain'. This is a 'time release' NAC, which allows a more consistant dosage throughout the day. Browneyesblu recomended Jarrow Sustain and after reading up on it, I agree. Could this be the "Magic Bullet"! I'll soon know...I've been really sensitive to green tree pollen in the Spring. Last year, green tree pollen was all over everyone's car and my eyes were the worst that they had ever been.

Hhmmmmm the sustain tablets are not preservative free. i wonder if this matters if one is on a preservative free diet and allergic to preservatives in the eye?

Something very interesting happened. I was involved all day yesterday getting my tax information squared away for my accountant and forgot about my eyes completely and even forgot to take any NAC at all. This morning, when I got up, my eyes felt 'sticky' and I remembered that I didn't take my NAC yesterday so I took it right away. However, my eyes remained uncomfortable all day and are still a little uncomfortable as I write this. I can't be sure but could one day w/o NAC have made a difference? It may be a coincidence but I won't forget to take it again.

Hi Soaps, NAC is difficult to obtain in Australia, let me know if you find a source. Yes, you can take flaxseed and fish oil with NAC.

Umm after 5 temp plugs every week and no progress I am now jumping on this bandwagon . I asked Dr will it make things worse- nah shouldnt but no trials to suggest it would help either . But i don't think he had heard of NAC.so here goes...
I will just buy at chemist as it takes agessss to receive anything via mail in Australia. Not sure how u guys search online as my eyes kill to use computer.
Very excited!!
Do you guys still take fish oil and other vitamins while taking NAC?

I just got my Carlson 60 capsule bottle from amazon today. I opened it up and noticed it had a sulfur type smell, like a hard boiled egg. Is that normal?

It might mean that the drug is impure or not fresh enough. See link.

Yes, it is normal. "N-acetyl-cysteine is of value mainly because it is produced from cysteine, a sulphur-containing amino acid. Sulphur gives cysteine numerous capabilities in binding with other compounds in the body. glutathione, a highly versatile antioxidant. Cysteine, with its sulphur component, is the central amino acid in glutathione, along with two other amino acids. Glutathione benefits the body in many ways."

I copied and pasted the above quote from the link below. Hth!

I sure hope you are back to feeling good again tomorrow. As for me, I no longer need MC's to be comfortable although I'm still protecting my eyes with wrap-around glasses, and need almost no hydrating drops during the day. And my glands are unclogging by themselves. To me this is the most amazing thing of all. When I use the compresses now the oil is mostly clear but every now and then a small, white, perfectly round plug comes out. I hope this continues! I was considering Lipiflow but I'm giving the NAC another week first.

Regards and LOL!

Its a good product, I think there is also less chance of stomach upset this way. They recommend you take it with fruit juice so make sure you have some around. Thanks for letting me know about the HA. Hope you are still doing well.

Hi Browneyesblu, I like the idea of the sustained release formula so I just ordered the Jarrow Sustain also. thanks, rppnj

rpnnj I'm glad to hear you are still doing well. I'm having a different experience but also positive. My eyes still aren't normal but it seems to have unclogged my glands, the oil is still too thick but it's now expressing easily. I think all the thick stuff has to clear out before I really feel normal. Anyway it's an improvement.

Watched the video, impressive. The NAC I'm taking is also from Jarrow Formulas. It's a sustained release formula, you only have to take one 600mg. capsule per day. May I ask how much HA you take per day? Any side effects?
