Aids OCD anxiety
36 people found this helpful
Results may differ, but NAC worked for my OCD-induced anxiety. I discovered it could be effective for anxiety linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder. I began to feel a calmness enveloping my heart. I now take it daily as a supplement. I’ve tried both Life Extension and Now Foods; both are effective. I often prefer Now, as it contains molybdenum, a mineral crucial for glutathione synthesis, which is rare in standalone supplements.

I take this supplement for anxiety and to aid recovery from concussions. I’ve never been prescribed anything for anxiety because I often don’t persist with treatments. However, I found relief from my racing thoughts very quickly with this product. If only the pills weren’t so large, I’d be happier!

Calms anxiety effectively
7 people found this helpful
I felt lightheaded after taking the NOW Foods NAC, probably as I respond poorly to selenium. It causes my heart to race when I sleep. However, I still took it as it alleviated my headache. This NAC contains no selenium and slightly eased my pain without significant side effects thus far. Nonetheless, it does make me feel somewhat "heavy" if I take another dose the following day. I highly recommend it for anxiety; it helped a friend calm down during moments of ruminating and spiralling. It's best not to take too much, but during tough times, it's truly a lifesaver. I hope this assists you.

Improves anxiety markedly

Excellent antioxidant! This product significantly reduced my irritability, anxiety, and depression. It also improves memory, detoxifies heavy metals such as aluminium and lead, reduces inflammation, and aids lung disease and heart health. The capsule is 2 cm, easy to swallow, with no smell or taste. If my comment was helpful, please leave a thumbs up!

Effective yet misleading
7 people found this helpful
I’m very satisfied with this supplement, which has significantly improved my anxiety and helped alleviate sleep deprivation. However, I believe that the advertised number of capsules was misleading, as I finished the bottle sooner than expected. Nonetheless, the improvements have been notable.

Helps with anxiety
This is my favourite NAC so far. The quality is exceptional. I benefit greatly from this supplement, taking 2000mg daily. It helps with anxiety and enhances general wellness while protecting the body from oxidative stress.
