    VShoppe Expiration Bad Practice
    Vitamin Shoppe, what's going on? You keep sending me expired NAC and try to cover it up with ghetto stickers that show a newly printed expiration date. This is just bad practice.

    Original Expiration Dates COVERED OVER with NEW STICKERS and NEW DATES
    It MIGHT BE A GOOD PRODUCT, but Vitamin Shoppe sent me EXPIRED BOTTLES, WITH STICKERS COVERING OVER THE ACTUAL EXPIRATION DATES. The stickers had NEW EXPIRATION DATES, that JUST HAPPENED TO BE EXACTLY 1 YEAR AFTER THE REAL EXPIRATION DATES THAT WERE STAMPED ON THE BOTTLES. How do you think that happened?

    Bad reviewers got it wrong!
    For the reviewers complaining about the smell...it's SUPPOSED to smell!!! A sulfur or rotten egg smell. They aren't expired or rotten. If they don't smell, than you're not getting cysteine, you're getting cystine. Not the same.

    Expiration dates not always accurate
    It's good when the expiration date is good
    I believe it gets foul smelling when it's old - like oxidation.
    For some reason lately noticed labels with a year or 2 are added to modify the expiration date on the bottom of the bottles. I know I sure wouldn't want that to happen with my prescription meds - wouldn't want it done on anything I ingest. I only try and purchase those without a modified date.

    NAC for life
    Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic and the body naturally makes cysteine. I have been on the Vitmain Shoppe brand supplement for almost a year now (600mg/day). I haven't had to use my rescue inhalers for asthma since then. If I feel I am getting sick... usually something respiratory... I just up my dose to 1,200-1,800mg/day for 2 or 3 days and I don't get sick bc the mucus doesn't set in. I also feel my body heals faster and I just feel better in general. Good stuff. I will keep it in my supplement repertoire.

    which is best vitamin?
    A shopper

    Best Answer:  First, one must distinguish between micronutrients and macronutrients, and within the realm of micronutrients, some are vitamins, some are not. There is no useful answer to that question. I recommend Wikipedia for a better understanding of the term :"vitamins". NAC is considered to be a precursor for glutathione, and glutathione is a substance your own body can produce that acts as an anti-oxidant and thereby acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. I take it in very large amounts daily, almost at the level of micronutrients.

    How and who test this product?
    A shopper

    Best Answer:  The Vitamin Shoppe is very diligent about testing each lot of all of our raw materials for identity, purity, strength, composition, and contaminants before they can be used in the manufacturing of a Vitamin Shoppe brand supplement. Finished products are also tested at random by FDA audited, independent third-party laboratories to ensure that label claims are being met. Our manufacturers adhere to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and perform quality control checks throughout the entire manufacturing process.

    Does this contain fish products?
    A shopper

    Best Answer:  No

    Natalia M
    What is shelf life if buying 200 capsules using one a day?
    A shopper

    Best Answer:  The usable shelf life is years, so 200 days will be no problem. Over time, you may notice a whiff of vinegar. That is just NAC breaking down into its components, L-cysteine and acetic acid. Aspirin does the same thing, breaking down into acetic acid and salicylic acid.
