VITALITY Switch™ stacks well with NAC to support general health and wellbeing. ESTRO Switch™ contains 200mg of NAC and other liver supporting herbs, quercetin, vitamins, and minerals. Therefore, if you stack NAC with ESTRO Switch™ you should consider your overall dose. You may want to use NAC at night with ADRENAL Switch™ to help support recovery and a healthy immune response.
