Tommy I have been using it continuously for years, except like I mentioned when I run orals and just inject glutathione instead. I have not seen any iron deficiency, but I am also the genotype that produces a high amount of RBC. I actually try and limit my iron intake to the best of my ability, which is hard AF being an open bodybuilder.I've read that NAC can has chelation properties, and that long term use can lead to iron, zinc and other metal/mineral deficiencies. Do people take NAC for long term use, or is used during/immediately after running orals?
Thanks. Good to know. I think my RBC is typically right at the high side of the normal range as well.Tommy I have been using it continuously for years, except like I mentioned when I run orals and just inject glutathione instead.

I was reading a thread over on PM and several people were talking about this. Now I can't seem to find it.I can't find anything on NAC and iron deficiency. Do you have a link?

N-Acetylcysteine as Modulator of the Essential Trace Elements Copper and Zinc
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a frequently prescribed drug and known for its metal chelating capability. However, to date it is not well characterized whether NAC intake affects the homeostasis of essential trace elements. As a precursor of glutathione (GSH), ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Key takeaway (IMO): NAC is used to treat acute heavy metal poisoning—e.g., against mercury, cadmium, or arsenic intoxication [13]. Even though this function is well established, there is only limited information on how NAC affects essential metals such as Zn and Cu. In a human intervention study, NAC (200 mg three times a day) application to ten healthy volunteers for 2 weeks did not affect plasma levels of calcium, magnesium, iron, Zn, and Cu [14].
