(pensive music) Hey, smart people
NAC may be a part of your longevity protocol, but its not a one-size-fits-all solution
And before licensing, manufacturers would have to prove that the drug was not only absorbed reliably and consistently via patch, and that these products worked as well as the (proven) injectable versions
In contrast, semaglutide, alongside similar weight loss drugs like Zepbound (tirzepatide), have gone through extensive reviews and are FDA-approved
A temporary strange or metallic taste in the mouth has also been noted in some cases immediately after injection, but this is not harmful
