For anyone turned off by the smell, it is 1000% normal. I manufacture supps for a living. The odor can vary from batch to batch. NAC is a super star ingredient so get past the smell for the benefits. Consumers can be their own worst enemy sometimes bc of a lack of understanding. Its one of the reasons you rarely see NAC in a blended formula bc it will get bad reviews and returns bc of the smell. It does well as a single ingredient product bc those who know the benefits get past the smell and understand the ingredient. Make sure you take with food and a glass of water. It can give you heartburn on an empty stomach.Most supplements do better with food anyway as some are fat soluble. So not only do you avoid a tummy ache, you absorb more when you have some food in your stomach.

Good quality for fair price

UPDATE: this is a very upstanding company! They reached out to when I left a product review and took the time to correct the issue. While I still feel the capsules smell terrible, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase something different from them based on my personal experience with their customer service which is definitely 5 Star worthy!! WORST SMELLING CAPSULE ever!!! If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. It seriously smells like rotten eggs and apparently can’t be returned. Beware if you buy it…it is honestly the worst smelling stuff.

I've only been taking this for a few days, but I'm a long time user of Mary Ruth's and trust the quality. Used it this past week in a stack to combat hangovers and it worked great for that! Only drawback is the smell, which I took the star off for - which maybe isn't fair because I think that's just the way NAC smells perhaps? But the smell is so strong I almost couldn't stomach taking it. Other than that, I'd say it's great quality.

My young daughter does not have an official ASD diagnosis (maybe we will get one soon) but she does exhibit mild signs, including rather unique "stimming"/"repetitive" behaviors . Not your typical hand flapping or jumping, or finger posturing, but muscle tensing of her entire body. This "stimming" behavior has stumped her pediatrician and had us on a 5 month wait to see a neurologist. She also tends to stutter when her "stimming" is occurring frequently and she has always been a toe-walker. I couldn't just sit back for 5 months and let her suffer. The muscle tensing causes her to have leg pain throughout the day and has also put her in dangerous situations because when she needs to do it, she'll do it. It was also occurring so frequently (50+ times a day, easily), it was interfering with her everyday day life (playing and being a kid). She's dropped to the floor and smacked her head on concrete floors, teetered on the edge of the stairs or couch, etc. As a family, we were on constant watch to keep her safe. I had to do something. I started reading online doing many nights and hours of research. I started by putting her on methyl Bs, Methyl folate, Omega 3s, and magnesium glycinate. I saw improvements in other behaviors like eye contact, interactions and speech, but not her "stimming" . I started to worry that maybe this wasn't stimming. Maybe a unique type/display of seizure activity? I did more research and that's when I decided to try NAC. Life changing! About 2 weeks in and she had her first day in over 6 months free of the muscle tensing. She's now been on it for 6 weeks. She's still having a few episodes a day (mostly first thing in the morning or around nap time) but she's also having days of zero episodes. I would say she's experienced a reduction of about 80%. Maybe it will continue to improve. Her stuttering is also gone and only surfaces on days that her tensing is increased. Her toe walking, however, has not improved. She's always had tighter muscle tone, so Maybe the toe walking is connected to that and may not improve? Her neurology appointment is in 2 weeks . For those wondering, my daughter is 40 pounds and I started with 250 mg (half of a capsule) in the morning and 250 mg at night. After about 10ish days I increased to 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg at night. A few days on that dose and that's when we saw the first day of no tensing ! I do not plan on increasing until further insight, as she is on the same amount that they recommend for adults . I'm not a doctor. I'm just a mom who was desperate for help . Definitely do your own research on NAC and dosages. I can say , my daughter has had a very positive outcome so far!

I’ve been researching NAC for quite some time then finally purchased it. Of course as with anything new and my level of anxiety, i was uneasy to start it but i’m glad i did. It’s beneficial in many ways but i primarily use it for severe OCD. I haven’t been taking it long enough as yet to comment on just how effective it is but i can say the past couple of days i have felt a little less anxious and slightly less compulsions. I repurchased so maybe in the future i can review it’s effectiveness much better. As for the smell, i sarcastically laugh when i read a comment about how bad it smells. Of course it doesn’t smell fantastic, it’s an amino acid obviously. Just don’t smell the bottle. Swallow it with a beverage and it’s over.

For everyone, complaining of a sewer rotten egg smell, you clearly didn't do your research!!! This is exactly how they are supposed to smell!!!

I have been taking NAC capsules for three years, not this brand. I have used and loved Mary Ruth's B-12 and B Complex liquid drops, but this NAC was a horrible experience. I thought I would pass out when I opened the bottle the smell was so bad and so strong, like skunk but nasty and rotten smelling. I have never smelt anything like it. I went ahead and took two, like I always do (500 mg each) and within thirty minutes I got sick to my stomach. This has never happened with any other NAC I have ever taken.
