NAC as a Superior Mucus Remedy

NAC, or N-acetylcysteine, is presented as a more effective alternative to salt for clearing respiratory mucus. Unlike salt, which absorbs water into mucus, NAC thins out mucus, reduces its stickiness, and stops its production altogether. It is known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help strengthen cilia in the respiratory system that aid in mucus movement. Additionally, NAC possesses antibacterial and antiviral effects, making it beneficial not just for bronchitis or sinusitis, but also for chronic conditions like COPD and cystic fibrosis.
