N-Acetyl Cysteine

[ashley2]

i have a question and maybe a suggestion. have you ever heard of N-Acetyl Cysteine being used for tendinitis? it's an amino acid, which is supposed to be a precursor to glutathione, which is supposed to be some kind of anti-oxidant. i mostly discovered this stuff by accident. i had bronchitis, and it's supposed to help clear mucus. but, it seems to function as an anti-inflammatory also. i saw some posts on the board about you and other people having troubles with hip tendons and knee tendons. my trouble has been with the knees. they seem to be ok with this stuff. i haven't found anything or heard from anyone that has used it specifically for tendinitis.
