Taking NAC and Vitamin E together may enhance tumor growth and progression. This combination could potentially worsen cancer outcomes. Patients with cancer should exercise caution. The antioxidant properties of NAC and Vitamin E may synergistically enhance tumor growth and progression by reducing oxidative stress in cancer cells. This allows cancer cells to proliferate more rapidly. Antioxidants can interfere with the body's natural ability to fight cancer.
