                                Oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is known in medical settings for its disagreeable flavor and odor, which can impede delivery even with antiemetic medications. This unpleasant characteristic, often described as intensely sour with a pungent sulfuric smell, is a significant consideration for anyone taking the supplement in powder form.
