    That's weird. I checked my privacy settings and un-clicked the "member's only" box. I can be reached at risk*rb @ gmail off-site.

    Any more than that gets in a fuzzy-area of potential endocrine disruption. You can (and should) take 3-4g.

    ALL adult men need to take at least a half of a regular aspirin (163mg) daily. It's the cheapest health insurance available.

    Thanks, yeah I wasn't sure if you still use the riskarb email. I have a shopping Cart at iherb ready to order when I get home, I'll drop you a line later.

    When I try and go to your profile to pm, I get an error saying, "member limits who may view their profile."

    Sure thing. Jarrow "Sustain" NAC is the best I've found. It's a bi-layer tab with one layer a depot and the other a fast-dissolve. It's hard on your gut (cramping and gas), but you must take on an empty stomach to avoid competition on uptake. Start slow with the NAC until you can "stomach" 2*600mg in the morning and 1*600mg some two hours after dinner.

    Cool. That's exactly why I wanted to run the list by you... I was going to go with Now brand for the NAC I think.

    yeah, you've got potential for fetal position if you take 1200mg without acclimating. I do a glut IV four to five times a year, but that's admittedly extreme.

    ok, so you've now forced my hand and you're going to read the "Lucerne Incident" It's TMI, so be advised....




    I am in Lucerne with family. A vacation by car traveling throughout the Alps. I always ship my supplements to the hotel in advance. I have my stuff with me and I have just taken NAC for the first time (other than traces in multi-formulas).

    I take it on an empty stomach, maybe 2g IIRC. We're at the lake and head into town for lunch. I feel some gastric-distress lol and figure I'll go outside and pass some gas and all will be forgiven. It works momentarily and I go back into the restaurant. A few minutes later I unleash a chemical-attack and the family is in awe sitting there. My dad's face was beet-red.

    I run into the bathroom and see that the toilet stall-doors have coin slots. I have zero change on me and I literally cannot move. Any movement would cause the cascade (down my leg). I have no choice but to drop trow and straddle the sink.

    I finish and run out of there, family in tow. So yeah, be afraid and start with a half-tab.

    lol amazing story. You were not joking at all, powerful stuff.

    Coin slots?? wtf... sometimes you have to do what you have to do though, shit happens. Half-tab it is! (and still worried). I'll make sure I'm at home when I kick things off.
