Tried

NAC

I started NAC after dealing with dry and ageing skin for months. By week 4 I noticed the worst of the symptoms eased. At 6 weeks, I felt like I had my life back. I'd recommend discussing it with your GP.

Tried

NAC

NAC has been really helpful for my hair loss and brittle nails. I noticed things started to shift slightly fairly quickly. I felt significantly better over the following weeks. Worth persevering through the first few weeks.

Tried

NAC

I gave NAC a fair trial for my sudden hair thinning. Some improvement in anxiety eased somewhat but the hot flashes continued persisted. I may try increasing the dose.

I was sceptical about NAC but desperate with my hair shedding and scalp issues. the worst of the symptoms eased. By week 6, I could function normally again. I wish I'd started sooner.
