500mg a day is a pretty good dosage. The ones I buy are 175mg and I take three a day for a total of 525mg. That should be plenty IMHO.

hector

thw ones i picked up from walmart are 1000mg per gel tab.

Pharm_Fed

Oh wow. What percentage standardized are they? Most good brands are 80% standardized silymarin extract. Some have high mg. Aps but are less standardized.

Considering the label is dosing for non users I always bump it up one more tab than indicated on the label. Remeber Milk thistle works by revving up liver metabolism up to 3 times which is great when on a harsh liver toxic substance of any kind and like I always say it's great when stacked with NAC since NAC has powerfull liver detox properties recognized and used in hospitals to combat tylenol poisoning which says alot.

saudades

I keep meaning to look at the dosage of my bottle in the morning, but I keep forgetting. What is NAC?

hector

dont know all it says on the sup facts is milk thistle 1000mg and then in parenthesis silybum seed. serveing size one soft gel i take 1 at winny time.so 1 morning and 1 night.

NAC is N-acytyl-Cystiene
L-CYSTEINE, N-ACETYL- (NAC) is a sulfur-containing amino acid. A major constituent of hair, it is a potent antioxidant and supports immune system function. It can help to detoxify acetaldehyde which can be found in cigarette smoke and pollution and is a by-product of alcohol use and Candida; and greatly enhances antioxidant glutathione production, (much more than taking glutathione itself!) which help protect tissues (including the lens of the eye) from free radicals produced by pollution, UV radiation, and muscular exertion. Also may help lower homocysteine levels and protect mitochondrial DNA. Helps remove mercury and prevent damage caused by oxidized LDL cholesterol. Recent information refers to NAC, as part of a weight training program, can prevent loss of muscle and the decrease body fat. For greater antioxidant protection, may be taken with glutathione and adequate selenium.

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) - a friend to your liver

NAC can help to prevent damage to the liver caused from overuse of acetaminophen (Tylenol). NAC is the standard medical treatment for acetaminophen overdose. It is prudent to take NAC whenever one uses acetaminophen.

NAC is an excellent mucolytic agent. It keeps the membranes of the respiratory system moist, thereby lessening the irritation of dry air, dust, and pollutants. It also helps the immune system to do its job properly in the respiratory tract. NAC is available as a prescription drug for this purpose, but you can buy NAC over the counter for far less money.

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) - Take Plenty Of Vitamin C

N-Acetyl Cysteine is a more stable compound than taking oral cysteine, but as it is metabolized, some N-Acetyl Cysteine may be oxidized and become insoluble. This may form kidney stones. It is therefore recommended that individuals taking NAC take 3 times as much vitamin C when taking NAC to prevent the NAC from being oxydized. Diabetics should consult their physician before using N-Acetyl-Cysteine, since it may have an insulin-blocking effect.

N-Acetyl-Cysteine is currently the dietary supplement of choice for building up cysteine or conserving the body's store of Glutathione, Cysteine and other Sulfhydryl anti-oxidant resources. This is very crucial for the body's life functions, as NAC helps the body neutralize toxins, heavy metals, such as mercury from dental amalgam fillings, cadmium and lead from paint and cigarette smoke. The Sulfhydryl balance has also been linked to enhance resistance to viral infections.
mercury toxicity from amalgams

NAC is a chelator of heavy metals. In other words, NAC binds to toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and removes them from the body. This is a slow process, but most chelating agents, such as EDTA, are generally given intravenously. NAC is one of the most effective oral chelating agents. Taken regularly over a period of time, NAC will remove many toxic heavy metals from the body. Toxic metals can accumulate in the body over time from many sources such as drinking water and possibly even from tooth fillings made of silver-mercury amalgam. These heavy metals catalyze free-radical reactions. In other words, they initiate free-radical reactions without being used up during the reaction. So these heavy metals continue to cause free radical damage as long as they are present in the body.

NAC has been shown to antidote acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning, mercury poisoning, and even arsenic poisoning. Mercury is especially important because of the increasing evidence linking mercury amalgam dental fillings with the onset of degenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. NAC chelates, i.e. "grabs" heavy metals and removes them from the body.

NAC has been shown to be a protective agent in many diseases and conditions in which free radicals play a role. This includes cancer, AIDS, cirrhosis, as well as pollution damage from smoking or other chemicals. Rats given NAC were completely protected against cigarette smoke caused DNA cross-linking.
NAC helps with mercury toxicity and other conditions

Cancer research has shown that NAC dramatically reduces the ability of a tumor to invade surrounding tissue. In one study, NAC decreased the number of metastases by 80% when cancer cells were pretreated with NAC. NAC can be used for colon cancer prevention. A preliminary double-blind placebo-controlled study of NAC enrolled 62 individuals, each of whom had had a polyp removed from the colon. The abnormal growth of polyps is closely associated with the development of colon cancer. In this study, the potential anticancer benefits of NAC treatment were evaluated by taking a biopsy of the rectum. Individuals taking NAC at 800 mg daily for 12 weeks showed more normal cells in the biopsied tissue as compared to those in the placebo group.

Immunologically, NAC greatly enhances T-cell production. In fact, all AIDS patients are deficient in NAC and glutathione. NAC suppresses the replication of HIV in vitro and enhances the ability of certain immune cells to kill pathogens. A double-blind study at Stanford University of 45 people, suggested that NAC may increase levels of CD4+ cells (a type of immune cell) in healthy people and slow CD4+ cell decline in people with HIV. Patient given 3200mg to 8000mg of NAC daily for 6 weeks were roughly twice as likely to survive for 2 years as the subject that did not take NAC.
