Somebody (I think MisterWhyAreYouSoDumb) mentioned something about how NAC is superior to Milk Thistle for keeping the liver health

I want to dig up some research on that but could not find anything. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I was referring specifically to protection from alcohol. Milk thistle was about the same effectiveness as vitamin C at protecting from alcohol damage. That's why I say NAC is better in that instance. However, NAC needs to be taken before you start drinking, or it can actually cause MORE damage from alcohol. So timing is crucial. Milk thistle is good for protecting the liver from other things, though. One size doesn't fit all in that regard. It's just not as strong as many people think.
