Yesterday I took NAC covered in confectionary glaze and I noticed nothing odd about my condition, all within normal parameters no weird mental health issues. My colon is a bit tender at the moment but this hasn't made it worse.
Very interesting. I have not yet tried NAC in shellac-coated capsules, though have tried glutamine, N-acetyl glucosamine, vitamin A and zinc (all good for leaky gut). And also probiotics.
N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) was the one that really had strong adverse mental health side effects when taken shellac-coated, so I think NAG may be having a strong effect in the colon.
NAG increases mucin secretion on the intestinal mucous membranes, and this can fight biofilms. The adverse mental effects I experienced from shellac-coated NAG might be due to some bacterial or biofilm Herx effect.
The Amazing thing is that when taking NAG in regular capsules (even in doses as high as 3000 mg), this never causes any adverse effects, and on the contrary, I find NAG beneficial for mental health symptoms like anxiety.
But as soon as I placed a 700 mg NAG capsule in shellac, to target the colon, it made a huge difference, and had strong adverse mental health effects (though no physical adverse effects).
