NAC Helps Serious Mental Health ProblemsWednesday, September 03, 2008 - Byron J. Richards, CCNN-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that helps build cellular levels of glutathione, the primary antioxidant within cells that protects the cell from damage. Two new double blind placebo controlled studies show that NAC is quite helpful as a supportive treatment for both Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. These findings are significant and mean that having adequate antioxidants in your brain is crucial for mental health, a health principle that applies to any stressed individual, not just those with Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. The fact that NAC was able to show improvement in these very serious mental health issues indicates the power of this general principle. Many nutrients work synergistically with NAC to maintain glutathione levels in brain cells. In fact, antioxidants need a network of related nutrients for optimal function. Other nutrients that work with NAC are R-alpha lipoic acid, tocotrienol E, Silymarin, vitamin C, zinc, copper, and many others. Of course, a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, void of trash, is fundamental to better antioxidant status.
