NAC can be tested in small doses for tolerability. Some people just do not tolerate it, similar to sulfur food or sulfite intolerance. NAC is a fairly strong mercury and lead mobilizer, but not a good chelator, so it can lead to redistribution, repoisoning, new and worse symptoms for people who have had prior exposure to mercury, most commonly from amalgam fillings. The majority of people at chelation forums won't go anywhere near NAC due to the risks.
Just a tidbit of info on the other side NAC.
I believe another good brain supplement is Acetyl-L-Carnitine, mainly for the same purposes as NAC.
