N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC)

[Music] I'm David Tillman author of nootropics expert calm and in this video I'm going to share with you what I know about an asado cysteine or neck as a nootropic what it is why we use it the science behind it dosage and side effects the knack has been used to treat acetaminophen poisoning for decades every year there are over 1556 thousand emergency room visits in the u.s. from tylenol overdose resulting in at least a hundred deaths knack provides the glutathione your liver needs to fight off the metabolite any pqi in tylenol that does a severe liver damage as a nootropic knack helps prevent glutamate toxicity boosts dopamine and reduces inflammation oxidative and free-radical damage an acetyl l-cysteine her neck is the antis title form of the naturally occurring amino acid l-cysteine l-cysteine is naturally producing your body using the amino acid methionine you can also get l-cysteine from eating ricotta and cottage cheese yogurt pork chicken turkey duck wheat germ granola and oat flakes but acute stress illness or poor diet can deplete l-cysteine levels in your body and brain and the quickest and most efficient way to boost levels of l-cysteine is to supplement with knack neck rub regulates the amount of glutamate in your brain glutamate is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for sending signals between neurons in the brain this plays an important role in learning and forming memories but too much glutamate can be toxic to brain cells nack regulates the amount of glutamate and keeps it safe healthy levels neck influences the amount of dopamine in your brain it works to keep dopamine receptors healthy unable to transmit and receive dopamine these neurotransmitters are critical for cognitive energy and drive motor control feelings of pleasure and focus knack is a precursor to the powerful antioxidant glutathione glutathione is a potent anti-inflammatory antioxidant and free radical scavenger your brain is especially vulnerable to inflammation free radical and oxidative damage if left unchecked inflammation and oxidative oxidation and free radicals can negatively affect cognition long-term potentiation memory and mood as a nootropic neck can boost glutathione and dopamine levels in your brain neck is also used by mental professionals to treat serious cognitive disorders like schizophrenia bipolar disorder severe depression and anxiety well first an acetal l-cysteine reduces oxidative stress oxidative stress results in free radical damage and brain cells leading to neuro degeneration and ultimately Alzheimer's Parkinson's and other age-related neuronal disorders proteins and DNA are injured inflammation causes tissue damage and cellular apoptosis or cell death are the result and neuro hackers are not immune to oxidative stress no matter what your age keep this in mind the next time you reach for a diet coke consumption of the artificial sweetener aspartame induces cortical inflammation an oxidative stress researchers did a study with 30 adult male Wistar rats randomly divided into three groups the control group received distilled water the second group was given aspartame and the third group was given aspartame along with knack oral administration was died in the morning every day for 30 days the study found that knack affected brain driving entropic factor levels or Beauty NF levels it blocked the cox-2 and pge2 inflammatory enzymes and reduce the expression of interleukin 6 and to tumor necrosis factor a inflammatory cytokines in the rat cerebral cortex they also found that nak replenished include Athene levels the researchers concluded that nak prevented neurotoxicity improved nerve neurological function suppress brain inflammation and oxidative stress response so I guess the lesson is if you insist on drinking diet coke make sure you'd be taking nak in the second way and a satella cysteine relieves depression major depressive disorders one of the most common psychiatric psychiatric disorders it's a burden on the individual to the family and the community in the suitable companies are making literally billions on promote selling various antidepressants not treating the cause producing a host of side effects in most cases just dumbing down the symptoms but the pipeline of new antidepressant drug discovery is an at a near standstill for treating problems like schizophrenia bipolar disorder depression and common forms of autism the good news is that neuroscience continues to work on the problem and has shown that many of these disorders share inflammation and oxidative stress as part of their disease physiology neuroscientists also discovered that associated pathways causing these diseases included reduction in proteins that stimulate stimulate neuron growth there neurotrophins or increased apoptosis and reduced reduced energy generation of mitochondria it turns out that knack seems to have multiple effects on all of these pathways knack reduces the core symptoms of schizophrenia reduces depression and reduces cravings for a number of addictions including cocaine cannabis and tobacco and a site allows cysteine or nak is a slightly modified version of the sulfur containing amino acid l-cysteine when taken as a supplement nak replenishes an intracellular levels of the nativist natural antioxidant glutathione restoring your cell's ability to fight damage from reactive oxygen species conventional medicine is used knack for decades as an inhaled mucous thinner to treat symptoms of cystic fibrosis nak is given intravenously or orally as a treatment for acute acetaminophen poisoning that quickly restores glutathione levels averting permanent disability or death the nootropics community has recently asked a burden act as a way to suppress inflammation in the brain nak prevents oxidative stress and brain cells eliminates free radicals it restores brain driver entropic factor and regenerates dopamine receptors and improves overall cognitive function nak can help boost cognition long-term potentiation for long-term memory formation short-term and working memory and improve your mood and quell anxiety neural hackers reported the supplementing with knack could be the best nootropic they've ever used for their brain and overall health comments include thinking is clear there's less brain fog memory improves concentration and attention approve less anxiety less depression less irritability mood improves like a clean high symptoms caused by ADHD meds disappear obsessive-compulsive disorder deceit decreases sleep quality improves energy levels increase weight maintenance is easier you get less flu and colds skin looks younger and you feel younger and get this hangovers are less severe and naturally we've got a lot of research available for an acetal l-cysteine or neck I'm not going to go through the clinical studies here in this video but if you'd like to see them please go to nootropics expert comm and search for neck NAC or click on the link below this video you'll get taken to the full transcript of this video and there you will see clinical studies for an Isetta Lyell cysteine increases dopamine I've got another study for an acetyl l-cysteine repairs traumatic brain injury I've got a clinical study for an acetal cysteine helps alleviate depression and if you want to see those clinical studies again just click on the link below this video go to the transcript and you'll see the clinical studies an acetal l-cysteine suggested dosage ricotta is 600 milligrams three times a day clinical studies have found that doses up to 2,000 milligrams per day are safe and effective and one German study showed the safety of 2,800 milligrams per day for three months in patients with cystic fibrosis was safe it was safe neck has also proven effective against seasonal flu-like illnesses one large study with the older adults in Italy took 600 milligrams of nack twice daily for six months only 25 or I'm sorry 25 percent of those adults who use knack experienced any client of flu-like episodes compared to 75 percent of the placebo group an Isetta l-cysteine her knack is the anna settle form of the naturally occurring amino acid l-cysteine nak is considered non-toxic and very safe nak is a slightly modified version of the sulfur-containing amino acid l-cysteine so nak in powder form can have a bit of an unpleasant smell very rarely Kanak caused nausea vomiting diarrhea or constipation even more rare are rashes fever headache drowsiness low blood pressure pressure and liver problems side effects can be a result of very high doses of nak and if you have a genetic condition called assistant area do not use nak this rare condition causes stones to form in the kidney your wreath that your reef urethra and bladder from cysteine nak is the unsettled formula and a settle form of cysteine an Isetta l-cysteine is available in powder tablet and capsule form this is snack and tablets nak capsules and tablets are usually a thousand milligrams or a 600 milligrams this one is a thousand milligrams some supplement makers add other compounds to the formula so ensure you read the labels carefully and stick with manufacturers who follow good manufacturing practices and are GMP certified so my nootropics expert recommendation for anisette allows cysteine or nak is 600 milligrams three times a day and that's my report on knack if you want to see links to the studies I talked about go to nootropics expert comm and search for an Isetta la cysteine or nak or click on the link below this video there you'll find a full transcript for this video and you'll find dozens of articles on all the well-known nootropics on air tropics expert if you have any questions or you want to share your experience using nak please use the comments section at the bottom of the post on the tropics expert IRA spend the comments and questions on tropic sex for usually the same day

Hope it helps you, but I did not find NAC helpful at all. At times it actually worsened my depression/anxiety

[u/SpeedLimitsSuck89]

Awesome. I’m also looking at NAC because it essentially normalizes glutamate, and glutamate can contribute to compulsive/addictive thought patterns. Fucked myself over by getting dependent on adderall

[u/Suttisan]

Did nothing for me YMMV
