TL;DR: "The rumor is that due to it's effectiveness against helping with covid-19 symptoms/severity, it's slowly being pulled in order to treat it as a drug and pharmaceutical i.p."
What is it and what is it good for?
N-acetylcysteine
"Keeps kidneys and liver safer from trauma ranging from alcohol all the way up to oral steroids, can reverse pulmonary damage from covid to lungs, is a fantastic antioxidant generally, and can reset regulation of serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters, resulting in reduced addiction, ocd, or anecdotally even recovery from something like excessive mdma abuse."
“What’s the public health risk to NAC?” he asked. “There isn’t one. NAC has been used safely pre-DSHEA. It’s a metabolite of an amino acid, an essential amino acid. It’s found in onions and garlic, so this is the hill they (FDA officials) want to die on?"
Well it is in the process of making it a prescription drug in the USA. Actually it was classified as a drug back in the 60s, but apparently nobody cared. Anyhow recently the FDA sent out warning letters and retailers are removing NAC. You can still buy it at some online retailers but not for long. Only the USA affected by this, you can order it from Amazon Canada, for now.

"I’ve been taking it for a while now. It keeps me from getting hangovers. Or if I do get one it’s super mild. Just take it before you start drinking not afterwards. Also I didn’t think about it but when I got COVID it was insanely mild. Slight scratches in my throat, very slight cough, did lose smell and taste but I recovered completely in about 3 days from all symptoms. I’m in my 50’s."
