I was in the first Phase 2 study of NAC at Stanford. After the study ended it was revealed that I had the real NAC and it helped me quite a bit. It doesn't actually break down mucus, it lowers the inflammatory response. I take it twice a day and on the rare occasions that I skip it, I can tell the difference in how "tight" I feel.
It's worth a try, but make sure your dr. knows you plan to try it. I believe the optimal dose is one tablet dissolved in water 3X per day. I do just 2 because of the cost.
