Can NAC cause liver damage?
NAC is generally considered beneficial for liver health and is even used in hospitals to treat acetaminophen overdose.

It's important to follow recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare professional when using NAC supplements.

Is it better to take NAC or glutathione?
Both NAC and glutathione have their merits, and the choice between them depends on individual needs and health goals.
