We examined how n-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) might impact those suffering from sinusitis, especially following a viral infection. This condition, known as post-viral rhinosinusitis, can be tricky due to overlapping symptoms with bacterial sinusitis, making diagnosis challenging.
In our review of current literature, we found that while NAC is included in combined treatments for sinusitis, determining its standalone effectiveness is complex. The treatment typically involves other components as well, notably a vasoconstrictor, which complicates our ability to attribute success to NAC alone.
Our analysis led us to conclude that despite the potential benefits of using NAC for sinusitis due to its mucolytic properties, the isolated benefits remain unclear. More targeted research is necessary to truly understand the role of this compound in managing sinusitis effectively.

Throat improvement
31 people found this helpful
I originally purchased this as a precaution against coronavirus and discovered it aids sinusitis. I've had persistent throat issues, but after just one dose of NAC, mucus began draining, alleviating some symptoms. My throat feels stronger now and my nose is clearer. Although it's often out of stock, I intend to keep taking it.

Delayed results
I bought this for my father, who suffers from chronic sinusitis. Although he hasn't noticed a significant improvement yet, I believe he seems clearer lately, even without his usual saline flush. I think we need more time to assess its effectiveness.

NAC prevents excessive pigmentation on the skin and supports bronchial health. It helps maintain glutathione levels and reduce inflammation, crucial for conditions like sinusitis. I recommend taking it for at least three months for noticeable results.
