@jeroenp going good with Nac…

I wonder what the mechanism is.

The amount of NAC they gave in this study was for paracetemol (Tylenol) overdose, and it’s a huge amount of NAC, but it’s very short term.

Off the top of my head, it’s linked to glutathione. I’m reading a recent review on one carbon metabolism and the brain, and it mentions NAC too. Cells | Free Full-Text | One-Carbon Metabolism: Pulling the Strings behind Aging and Neurodegeneration | HTML
