@DavidPS so I guess NAC is used primarily for it's antioxidant function.

@yerrag Ray inspired me to use food alternatives to supplements, like providing precursors for glutathione production. B6 is a precursor for glutathione, found in liver

In the body, NAC converts to l-cysteine, a nonessential amino acid. The body then uses l-cysteine to make glutathione, which is a tripeptide or chain of amino acids composed ofTrusted Source cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid.
Glutathione is an antioxidant with important functions in the body, such as making DNA, supporting the immune system, supporting the function of specific enzymes, helping certain organ functions, and more.

@DavidPS solid inputs. have you ever experimented with glutathione precursors?
I am not purposefully trying to increase glutathione.

Thanks.

@yerrag I forgot you asked which b vit, I found this source, otherwise I've only heard it second hand: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523232463#:~:text=Vitamin B-6 as pyridoxal,rat liver and human plasma.

Thanks. I got to read it. Am I getting it right though, as it seems to me the study is kinda inconclusive about the role of b6 in increasing glutathione?

@yerrag that's above my paygrade lol

My mother said that it feels like there is less mucus in the tube and lungs so NAC seems to be helping.

Backing up David's idea above there's a knowledgeable guy in my own circles who swears by NAC and Guaifenesin for similar symptoms. Though he does take NAC regularly.
Speaking of NAC, checkout the following claim of it's anti-aging properties, scroll down till you see the list of substances:
Josh Mitteldorf got that info from here:
