HI Aklu. Taking NAC supplements can be helpful if you understand how they work in the body. IT is a popular treatment in the UK, not so much here. From what I read, the main ingredient (Cysteine) helps break up the heavy bonds which make our MUCUS really gooey. We get most of what we need from our diet, especially if you are eating the healthy foods on this list:

The article says most of any extra NAC we take in will go unused any way.

I did try it for a short term, but not with any great results. I don't have a lot of Mucus most days either. IF you already suffer from GERD or indigestion this will be a hard pass for you too. Besides, there are easier ways to keep Mucus to low levels - Stay HYDRATED. 💦🚰
be Well.
