In this episode, we’re diving deep into NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), a popular supplement often discussed in the endometriosis community. I’ve been getting so many questions about it and today, we’re breaking down the facts: Does NAC really support endometriosis management? Is it worth incorporating into your routine?

We’ll unpack the research and shed light on what NAC actually does in the body, along with possible side effects, interactions, and practical tips for starting it safely.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

-Myths around NAC: What’s true, what’s not.

-Key takeaways from the 2013 and 2023 studies on NAC’s effects on endometriomas.

-How NAC works in the body and supports endometriosis.

-Important considerations: potential side effects and drug interactions.

-Practical tips for safely starting NAC as part of your endometriosis care.

As always, listen to your body when trying new supplements. If you experience any adverse reactions, it’s okay to stop—your health and comfort come first. If you have questions or need further guidance, feel free to reach out!
