NAC is not a strong chelator of metals. Yes it does help mobilize metals and encourage the process of eliminating them. It is a crucial part of the body's natural detox system for reducing normal everyday toxic exposure. But if you are talking about something powerful enough to sweep up all metals and escort them to the toilet, no, NAC does not have that power. NAC is actually harmful to many people at chelation forums because it has enough power to dislodge things like mercury and lead from storage, but not enough power to tightly hold onto them all the way to the toilet. Instead those metals get pulled from storage, stirred up in the blood, and redeposited in new places where they were not previously a concern, along with new symptoms and problems.
NAC at best might remove some of your current everyday toxic exposure, likely none of your previous exposure, and probably not much effect on metalic supplements.
