Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAC and how is it different from plain cysteine?
NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) is a modified, more stable form of the amino acid cysteine, which is why it is used in supplement form rather than free cysteine.
Do I need to take this with food?
NOW's label does not require food with this product; it can be taken with or without a meal.
When during the day should I take it?
The label calls for 1 capsule twice daily; many people take one dose in the morning and one in the evening to spread the two servings out.
Who should not take this product?
This is an adult only formula. NOW advises anyone who is pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition to consult a physician before use.
What does "Non-GMO" mean on this label?
It means NOW has verified the formula does not use genetically modified ingredients, a claim they make separately from their GMP manufacturing certification.
