Antioxidants. How much is too much?
Is this overkill?
NAC 500mg 2x perday VitC 1000mg 2x perday Green tea cap (1 cap = ~6-8 cups green tea) 1x perday This Multivitamin only 1x perday (not 2 as suggested on the label) NAC + VitC taken together with water only. Green Tea cap+multi taken together with food. |

One thing to remember is that antioxidants, in excess, can actually become what they try to rid the body of....free radicals
As far as your numbers go, the only UL I know of, of the ones you listed is Vit C and it looks like you are OK with it....but keep in mind, if that 2000mg of Vit C you are taking is strictly from a pill, than you might want to cut it back, cause I'm sure your already getting plenty from your diet. |

NAC is actually commonly taken at much higher doses. I have used AX Perfect Cycle, which is basically an on-cycle liver/free radical product. It was recommended to take it 2-3 times a day, and each contained 1000mg of NAC (I took in 3000mg every day). So you should be safe at that dose, even if used for a long time. Vitamin C is exactly the way you put it. Water soluable, and you are still fine at that dose x10... Multivitamin could go twice a day, unless you don't really like taking it. You have some bases covered with the Vitamin C which is a great addition in this stack, but it wouldn't hurt to get those extra vitamins in. I don't see any fat soluable vitamins in the ones you listed, so you should be in good shape |
