[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 251129, member: 38594"] I have a chronic reactivating varicella virus without the zoster rash, known as "internal shingles". This is typically a sign of immune deficiency - older people, people with HIV/AIDS, cancer patients, transplant patients etc. I do not take any supplemental concentrated anti-oxidants that would additionally suppress my immunity - I just eat vegetables and get vitamins in their natural amounts to which our bodies have adapted for thousands of years. Current anti-oxidant supplements contain huge amounts and the long term effect of those in the human bodies have not been tested by the evolution. There are articles that unnaturally high levels of antioxidants promote cancers. NAC is a precursor of Glutathione, which has an unclear status for the immune system. On one hand, glutathione activates the cells of the immune system - increases the cytotoxic capacity of NK cells. On other hand, glutathione is an antioxidant, which neutralizes the reactive oxygen species that some immune cells use to kill pathogens and infected cells. I feel unpleasant effects every time I take glutathione. NAC should be more benign because it is a precursor so your body decides to a degree if it will use it to make more glutathione. [/QUOTE]
