Go Ask Alice Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hi CB -- So, I'm about ready to order my second bottle of MAC since I saw some promising results with the first one. But I was wondering how many milligrams people take to reach a theraputic dose for trichotillimania? Any success stories, or stories where a certain dosage wasn't enough? Also, I've found ordering them online to be considerably cheaper. Any suggestions as to which websites to use or price ranges to expect? Any input appreciated. Thank you in advance! --Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Elvis Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 My gf takes it, I forget how much. She gets the Swanson brand off Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeAChillPill Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I googled MAC but couldn't find any information on the supplement. I'm curious about it now. What should I google to find out about it? What is it supposed to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think it is NAC N-acetyl cysteine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifequake Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I take the Jarrow Formulas N-A-C Sustain 600 mg tabs (purchased on Amazon). I never found them helpful for trich, depression, or anxiety. But I stand by the product-- no nausea or side effects. I take NAC to boost glutathione when I am taking acetaminophen or drinking alcohol more often.

Go Ask Alice Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks for the input @lifequake. Luckily I've found it useful for my trich. A godsend for a lifelong struggle, although its not the only piece of the puzzle. And @TakeAChillPill, I mean't NAC. Like @confused said, it stands for n-acetylcysteine. It's found to be therapeutic for a variety of disorders: N-acetylcysteine in psychiatry: current therapeutic evidence and potential mechanisms of action N ‐ acetylcysteine for Trichotillomania, Skin Picking, and Nail Biting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
