The next few months are a perfect storm. Unbreathable air. A spike in Covid-19 as cooler weather has us gathering indoors and idiots get away with refusing to wear masks. And even if you lock yourself down and keep the windows closed, the stress of the election on your emotional and physical health.

I have a pre-existing condition — a lung issue that has, thanks to a wonder drug, completely disappeared. It’s great to be symptom-free. Still, the next few months are for me, as they may be for you, perilous.

Last winter friends told me, and I listened, and told you: “You need to take Vitamin D-3.” Why? Data from 16 clinical trials involving 7,400 people show that taking vitamin D supplements reduces the risk of experiencing at least one respiratory infection including influenza and pneumonia by a third with positive benefits seen within 3 weeks.

Now friends are telling me to take NAC, and I am doing that and telling you. [To buy it from Amazon, click here.]

What is it? “A stable form of the non-essential amino acid cysteine. It is a sulfur-containing amino acid that acts as a stabilizer for the formation of protein structures.” It has many benefits. In English, here they are.

The reason to take NAC now: It strengthens your immune system, which is going to be massively challenged. And it particularly strengthens your lungs.

The Amazon reviews are eloquent about the benefits of ANC.

“I take it to help protect my lungs during Covid-19. It provides a higher level of immunity. As a cancer survivor with two lobes removed, protecting what I have left is paramount.”

“I have not had an asthma attack since taking this.”

“My husband has chronic asthma. After 3 weeks he experienced easier breathing, he doesn’t have to use his inhaler as much and he hardly ever has to use his nebulizer.”

“I used to have dry eyes, dry nose, dry throat, and especially dry lungs — all those gone after the first bottle of NAC.”

“I have bronchiectasis, and after 10 years and as many different pulmonologists, this is the first treatment that actually works! My cough is greatly reduced, as is the mucus.”

NEED TO KNOW

NAC is sulphur-based. When you open the bottle, you won’t be thrilled. And the taste won’t make you want to let the capsule melt in your mouth. Hurl the capsule into your mouth, slug down some water, pretend it never happened.

It takes as much as two weeks to kick in.

This NAC is vegan friendly, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Soy Free and in vegetable capsules.
