N-acetyl cysteine- Myeloma Side Effects-
We review the potential applications of n-acetyl cysteine to facilitate recovery after traumatic brain injury, cerebral ischemia, and in treatment of cerebrovascular vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage
I supplement with n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) daily. I live with a number of long-term and late stage side effects that I developed from my conventional, FDA approved, “safe and effective” cancer therapies.
I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in early 1994. I underwent standard-of-care MM therapy including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and an autologous stem cell transplant. I now live with several long-term and late stage multiple myeloma side effects. I supplement with NAC for several reasons.
- I consider NAC to be a sort of outlier as supplementation goes. MM survivors usually focus on curcumin, resveratrol, maybe omega-3 fatty acids. While I take those supplements as well as NAC, I consider it to be for general health reasons.
I apologize for not being very clear here. I guess you can learn more about NAC by clicking the links below.

According to ConsumerLabs.com NAC reduces symptoms and severity of the flu, may decrease the frequency and severity of chronic bronchitis and COPD, may lower homocysteine levels and may reduce the severity of certain mental health disorders.
I am both a multiple myeloma survivor and MM cancer coach. Years of research and experience have taught me that evidence-based non-conventional therapies are available for everything from side effect prevention to cancer care and everything in between.

Acetylcysteine
Hemorrhagic cystitis –Acetylcysteine has been used for cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis, although mesna is generally preferred due to the ability of acetylcysteine to diminish the effectiveness of cyclophosphamide.[28][29]
“Psychiatry-Acetylcysteine has been successfully tried as a treatment for a number of psychiatric disorders.[33][34][35] A systematic review from 2015, and several earlier medical reviews, indicated that there is favorable evidence for N-acetylcysteine efficacy in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia,
Top 9 Benefits of NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)
“It’s considered semi-essential because your body can produce it from other amino acids, namely methionine and serine. It becomes essential only when the dietary intake of methionine and serine is low.
Cysteine is found in most high-protein foods, such as chicken, turkey, yogurt, cheese, eggs, sunflower seeds and legumes.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a supplement form of cysteine.
Consuming adequate cysteine and NAC is important for a variety of health reasons — including replenishing the most powerful antioxidant in your body, glutathione. These amino acids also help with chronic respiratory conditions, fertility and brain health.
Here are the top 9 health benefits of NAC…”
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in neurological disorders: mechanisms of action and therapeutic opportunities
“There is an expanding field of research investigating the benefits of medicines with multiple mechanisms of action across neurological disorders. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), widely known as an antidote to acetaminophen overdose, is now emerging as treatment of vascular and nonvascular neurological disorders. NAC as a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione modulates glutamatergic, neurotrophic, and inflammatory pathways…

A Review on Various Uses of N-Acetyl Cysteine
“N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), as a nutritional supplement, is a greatly applied antioxidant in vivo and in vitro. NAC is a precursor of L-cysteine that results in glutathione elevation biosynthesis. It acts directly as a scavenger of free radicals, especially oxygen radicals.
NAC is a powerful antioxidant. It is also recommended as a potential treatment option for different disorders resulted from generation of free oxygen radicals. Additionally, it is a protected and endured mucolytic drug that mellows tenacious mucous discharges. It has been used for treatment of various diseases in a direct action or in a combination with some other medications…
Muscle performance- Investigations showed no effect of NAC on nonfatigued muscle, although after three minutes of repetitive contractions, it caused a considerably enhanced force output, up to approximately 15%. This means that NAC can improve muscle performance. This result is originated from the fact that oxidative stress plays a causal role in the fatigue process, since NAC is a scavenger of free radicals causing oxidative stress…
