Honestly, I can't speak more highly of N-acetylcysteine. It helped me reduce my caffeine consumption to near zero and helped me battle my attention deficit issues. I bought out the entire stock of my local grocery store after trying it for a few days. I'm afraid of sounding like one of those supplement nuts but it really worked for me.

What dosage did you find effective?

The recommended dosage on the label was enough for me to see full benefits, 600mg. The effect is within an hour.

As other people in the thread said, it may not be without side effects. The FDA has not approved it as a dietary supplement. Please do your due diligence.

How did it help you to reduce caffeine consumption? And why is caffeine consumption bad?

Personally I've linked caffeine with anxiety. The more I take the more anxious I feel, particularly if I take caffeine a few days in a row. So now I'm only occasionally having some, like on weekends or on family holidays.

I tend to drink caffeine with I need to recruit mental energy. I find I don't get compulsive cravings to drink coffee and I can drink a single cup of coffee and be fine for the entire day. If anyone knows why this is, I'm all ears, I'm honestly shocked.

That’s really interesting, are you able to elaborate on dosage and how long it took to notice the effects mentioned?
