are you on NAC? what is your Ferritin level?

[Gianluca]

I have come to realize from anecdotal evidence that NAC lowers Ferrtin, it keeps mine always about 80. I take 600mg daily from Jarrow, the slow released one.

Do you take NAC and check regularly your Ferrtin?
Dr Crisler once told me my ferrtin was lowish, and I also have hypothyrodim symptoms and working with NP Thyroid for that. Wondering if more Ferritin would help or not with that.

Second time in the last few weeks that the “NAC lowers ferritin” notion has flashed by me. Anecdotal response: for three years I have taken it and my ferritin levels haven’t moved.

it hasn't moved from where?

TRT can lower ferritin as the body tries to compensate for increased red blood cell production.

In this study in rats, NAC increased iron absorption. Oral N-acetylcysteine has a deleterious effect in acute iron intoxication in rats - PubMed
