    I give 600 mg in a.m. and 600 mg in p.m. to my old dog who has breathing problems and a cough. Works very well. I take the same dosage myself with good results for asthma.

    My doctor recommended that I try this for bipolar depression. He isn't much of a supplements kind of MD, so I was a bit surprised. It took two weeks before I noticed any improvement, but my depression has most certainly lifted. I've had a few side effects (nausea and anxiety) but within a week those passed. Also, I am taking a pure supplement, not one that has added supplements (selenium f ... Show Full Comment

    glutathione and Acetylcysteine have been shown to regulate body fat and induce weight loss. The lady who "packed on 40 lbs" should have her thyroid checked out, that could be her real problem.
