Back in May, 2021, the FDA wanted NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) removed from the OTC market including Amazon. Thousands of NAC supplements were delisted from Amazon and taken off the shelves of Whole Foods. NAC has been licensed for 59 years in the US. But unlike many supplements, it has been extensively studied and is widely used and very safe.
But now that Covid is officially over, they have allowed it to once again be sold on Amazon! Go figure!
I’ve taken NAC for almost 7 years and do not want to lose this vital (very natural) supplement.
Before coronavirus, FDA recognized NAC as an ordinary food supplement
N-acetyl-cysteine is an inexpensive amino acid with hundreds of validated scientific studies behind it. NAC provides cysteine, the amino acid for the synthesis of glutathione, the body’s main antioxidant and master detoxifier.
It is so highly effective at thinning mucus secretions, that it has been patented into various medicines. It also works wonders to break up clots!
It has become a favorite treatment intervention for many functional doctors because it is so effective for a very wide variety of conditions.
Just one of its many assets, NAC helps convert dangerous cancer-causing estrogen metabolites to safer estrogens that can be eliminated by your body. (source)
Without NAC, women would suffer. In actuality, all would suffer – as you will see.
The Real Reason the FDA attacked NAC
Solid research shows that spike proteins damage the body, specifically, the lungs.
Now, focus your attention on the 3rd slide (B,ii) which shows the “rescue” for the spike protein damage (highlighted yellow).
The study references NAC! Exact wording is “rescued by treatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine“!
(N-acetyl L-cysteine is a synonym for N-acetylcysteine).
Look at the date of the study: March 2021… They took NAC off of the shelves just 2 months later in May, 2021.
Why would they inject people with something that they know is harmful, and then take the “remedy” for the damage off of the shelves?
Don’t we already know the answer?
FDA Is Aiding Covid-19 Vaccine Makers, Attempting Removal Of a Competing Supplement
NAC is marketed without any disease claims so, what is the problem?
It’s about NAC “curing” COVID-19. The FDA appears to be changing regulations on behalf of vaccine makers who are allowed to market their experimental vaccines under emergency use provisions as long as “there are no adequate approved and available alternatives.”
NAC was just such an alternative that could negate the emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines. (Along with many natural God-given foods with shikimic acid, and more).
So, Amazon.com caved in to the FDA and removed NAC from its online offerings. The dietary supplement industry advised its members to continue selling NAC supplements, thankfully.
Ultimately, NAC SOLD OUT on many sites, but now is back at Amazon and these other sites: Swanson, Life Extension, Vitacost, Pure Encapsulations Pure Defense, and Nutricost.
N-Acetyl Cysteine & Severe COVID-19
The British Medical Journal (Oct., 2020) alerted the medical community that “a distinctive feature of COVID-19 is the presence of mucus plugs in the respiratory tract which explains the severity of this disease… and we recommend treatment with NAC to relieve bronchial obstruction.” (emphasis mine)
Since we know that T-cells, not antibodies, control COVID-19 infection long-term, NAC becomes more attractive because of its ability to raise T-cell counts through its ability to increase glutathione levels. Furthermore, NAC activates a type of white blood cell (natural killer cells) that kills virally infected cells.

The Many Life-Giving Health Benefits of NAC (and this is just a few)
• Shown to prevent the progression of breast cancer.
• Yale researchers add “reduction of hearing loss” to the many benefits
• Used as an antidote to acetaminophen poisoning for over 50 years
• Excellent results in COPD and lung disease, damage, and infection in adults and children (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
• Protects from many toxins and pollutants, including glyphosate
• Helps with obsessive-compulsive symptoms and addiction (NAC is neuroprotective)
• Relieves endometriosis
• Helps prevent the flu
• Improves fertility– which may be another reason it is being banned (read between the lines!)
• Helps for recurrent unexplained pregnancy loss (so SAFE in pregnancy)
Natural sources of NAC include:
- broccoli
- Brussels sprout
- chickpea
- garlic
- lentil
- onion
- oats
- poultry
- red pepper
- split pea
- sunflower seed
- white bean
- plain cultured yogurt
Dosage
Update 2-20-23: Once again, you can purchase NAC on Amazon, at your local health food store, or at your favorite online vitamin shop.
NAC is a life-saving compound and will stay fresh for several (3-4) years if you have it on hand.
Recommendations depending on the symptoms/conditions you are treating (Source Dr. Axe):
• Between 600–1,800 milligrams of NAC daily seems to be effective against many conditions; a 600 mg. capsule taken two to three times a day is the recommended dosage to start with.
• There’s evidence that 2,000 milligrams is safe for most adults.
• Higher doses may be needed to treat certain chronic and degenerative diseases, including COPD, impaired glucose control and cancer. For example, doses of about 2,800 milligrams per day for up to three months seem to be effective for adults with COPD, according to some studies.

Please also email the Master email for transmission also for those that chose differently. 😉

Thanks for the heads-up, Fortunately I have a “stash” of NAC. Evil men are not even trying to cover their objectives now. Me thinks that this kind of evil typically over play their hand. But for GOD!!! Ps 91 “in the secret place of the Most High”
Jacqueline
Amen!! I have been praying earnestly that ‘they’ will fall into their own pit and that they would run amuck with their confusion and devour themselves..
So thankful we are starting to see glimmers of their cunfusion causing them to stumble more and more!
Stand firm! Hugs! J
Diana Fil
That NOW brand is SO much cheaper than say Pure Encapsulations. Is it a quality product made in a way not to compromise the supplement?
Jacqueline
Hi, Diana,
I believe NOW NAC is a very good product and company. I have purchased from NOW for years.
I can’t account for PE being so much more expensive except that they must be pricing according to supply and demand – taking advantage of the HUGE demand for NAC..
Blessings,
Jacque
Diana
Thank you so much for that information. I have seen that brand around everywhere but didn’t know how good it was. So grateful to have a new supplement source!
Barb Tocci
It is almost impossible to find a supplement without stearate .Magnesium stearate is the most common ingredient, it is also referred to at vegetable stearate. https://draxe.com/nutrition/magnesium-stearate/ Pure Encapsulations doesn’t use it. no “cereal filler”
Barb Tocci
Why did they stop carrying it? Simple, because it works. Why have they stop using HCQ, or Ivermectin… because they work. Remdesiver is being used because…. wait for it….. IT KILLS.
Jacqueline
Barb, Remdesivir KILLS! I know of it personally now! Kidney failure! 🙁 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7907730/
Barb Tocci
That’s why they are using it!! They know!!!Genocide. The lungs fill with fluid & kidneys fail. People need to stop LETTING hospitals dictate their treatments. Hospitals have become the most dangerous places in America.
Cathy
Just letting you know – you can find the NOW brand on iHerb
Jacqueline
Yes, I think I have a link in that post to iHerb! Thank you so much for confirming that! 😀
Blessings,
Jacque
Gary McCollom
Hi Jacqueline, ty for this site, even though I know much of this one can never have too much knowledge and people doing Gods work need to be praised hence my post.
May God bless and keep safe you and your loved ones friend.
Also one question, I have done my research but still curious of thoughts of experts like yourself. What are your thoughts on the powder form of Pine Bark Extract like from bulk supplements?
Jacqueline
Hi, Gary,
Thank you for your kind words!
On something that could protect your life, I must say with the Pine Bark powder, I honestly don’t know.
I do know the needles have a lot of bang for the buck, and you could infer that the bark does, too, but I don’t have hard evidence of that.
Also, make sure you know what pine it is from. Does the product state the species of the pine?
Wish I could help more,
Blessings,
Jacque
Tabitha
Fyi Wal-Mart carries Now NAC (online,not in store)
Jacqueline
Tabitha, thank you for mentioning that!!! ~J
Emily
I bought NAC from bulksupplements.com just recently. Seemed to help us when we had suspected covid.
Jacqueline
Emily, thankfully most who use NAC see marked improvements when they use between 1,200 and 1,800 mg/d. In acute situations 2,400 mg is very, very helpful.
NAC is only 1 of the powerful supplements in my healthcare worker’s protocol. The full protocol is in my Maser email here:
https://deeprootsathome.com/trs/
Sending peace,
Jacque
Kimmi
I’ve tried 3 times to get the NAC protocol sent to me, but it’s not in my inbox or spam. Any ideas?
Jacqueline
Hi, Kimmi,
I will email you with that now. I apologize! ~Jacque
Barb Toccio
Just for ‘fun’ 2 weeks ago I looked to see if you could still get NAC on Amazon and there was one brand still there. Should have screen shot it, but now it is gone. Next it will be Quercetin.
Make sure any supplements that you purchase don’t have magnesium OR vegetable stearate (basically it’s soap/flow agent)
Just a fun fact about NAC:
It is a known biofilm disruptor that can be used alongside antibiotics or antimicrobial herbs in treating the gut. It has been studied that there is great benefit from using NAC alongside an antimicrobial prescription in order to eradicate unhealthy levels of bacteria.
Jacqueline
Yes, Barb, I can see that Totally from what I researched on it! It is such a useful supplement!
Syd
Hi there! Thankyou so much for the content you share! It was exactly what I was looking for, for my family. My husband is being forced to take the vaccine. Is there anything he should do prior to it or just do detox afterwards? We have Magnesium glycinate, tri-zinc, vitamin C, iodine, cilantro detox oil, NAC and cod liver oil…. he was also told to eat super fatty foods prior to vaccine and after to help absorb toxins. Would appreciate any suggestions you may have!
Not sure if you have heard of this app before, but maybe consider joining the telegram app to prevent being sensored, other people I follow are doing the same….
Thankyou again!!!
Jacqueline
Hi, Syd, I will email you now. Yes, many thousands are doing a protocol before to prepare and afterwards to detox deeply. I will send it to you soon… this afternoon!
And yes, we have a channel on telegram here: https://t.me/deeprootsathome
Blessings,
Jacqueline
Barb Tocci
Now this is just me…. I would quit, or better yet make them fire your husband before I would subject myself to a shot that has ingredients like… Luciferace, Graphene Oxide, mRNA gene altering. We are made in the image of God, post shot, that will not be case. 5th circuit court of appeals has put a stop to mandates for now. There is truly no coming back from this.
WMB
Lipedema is one condition not mentioned and NAC is recommended by some Dr’s as a supplement… this is why I take it … and your article explains why I couldn’t find any on Amazon recently. Thank you
Jacqueline
WMB, thank you for sharing that. I didn’t know, but it seems to help me circulation! That may be why!
Blessings,
Jacque
Grace
Could you pls comment on recommended NAC dosage for children? 9yrs 45lbs. For possible viral bacterial infection that causing swelling of lymph under jaw and low grade fever on and off for weeks. I could always get rid of anything quick and without anything too strong. She did get bit by a tick for approx 12hrs to which made me so upset. She’s had so many digestive issues. Long journey. Also, am using TRS to detox her (whole family) and on the 4th month. So not sure if detox or tick bite cause…pls advise. So sad for her. Thank you so much. May God bless your life for your help of His people!
Jacqueline
Grace, I will email you soon, hopefully within the hour. ~J
Andrea
Hi,
What are the contraindications for NAC? The link in the article above doesn’t take me to a page regarding NAC.
Thank you!
Jacqueline
Hi, Andrea,
I am not sure how that link was corrupted.
Anyway, this is a whole huge study on NAC and its impacts on human health, and they don’t
even remark on contraindications (I searched the text): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8234027/
Always stay within the bottles recommended dosage and frequency and, as with anything, pay attention to your body.
In this post: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/nac-side-effects.html#serious-side-effects , note: their wording is interesting for side effects, they use these words “Incidence not known”, so the incidence is very small is not known.
I hope that helps!
Jacque
Joy
Hi Jacque! Do you happen to know the dosing for NAC and children?
Jacqueline
Hi, Joy,
In the post on NAC it mentions 600 mg is a good place for adults to start and work up (see the Dosage section). I took 2,400mg/d for 4 months when I had long-covid. For a child of 12-14 (unless very slight build), you can start at half that dose 300 mg/day and work up to 600 mg/d for an acute situation. For under age 12, if they have respiratory issues, they can take NAC at 300mg and work up to 600mg/d. Just use common sense. NAC is not available in foods, but cysteine is. NAC is only obtained from taking supplements.
A standard dose is between 600–1,800 milligrams per day, although higher doses around 2,000 milligram/day have also been shown to be safe.
For other supplements, there is this post for amounts for children: https://deeprootsathome.com/child-teen-dosages-9-key-nutrients-to-prime-their-immune-systems/
