N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is widely used in respiratory medicine, with a maximum licensed dose in chronic use of 600 mg/day, although use of up to 3,000 mg/day has been reported to be safe. The supplement studies combining Glycine with NAC (GlyNAC) have used doses of 100 mg/kg/day of each supplement. Thus, a 150-pound person (68 kg) would be taking about 6,800 mg of Glycine and 6,800 mg of NAC. Are these doses safe to recommend for daily intake, as long-term safety has not been established yet at these levels of exposure?
