NAC - N-Acetyl Cysteine
💊 NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) – Oxidative Defense & Glutamate Control Category: BRAIN STACK Function: Neuroinflammation Reduction & Brain DetoxTime to Take: Night (or early evening) Why It Matters in FIRST CRASH:When your brain is crashing, it's usually inflamed — and NAC is one of the best tools we have to calm the fire. NAC is a powerful precursor to glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. But it does more than just protect cells. It also helps regulate glutamate, the brain’s main excitatory neurotransmitter — which is often out of balance in conditions like anxiety, ADHD, autism, long COVID, and post-viral fatigue. By lowering excess glutamate and oxidative stress, NAC helps stabilize brain function, improve resilience, and restore clarity — especially in burnout and post-inflammatory states. Key Benefits:• Boosts glutathione (critical for detox and brain protection)• Reduces oxidative stress linked to brain fog and fatigue• Modulates glutamate for calmer brain signaling•
