This natural substance is indicated as an intervention for treating liver toxicity resulting from the overdosage of the over the counter pain medicine, acetaminophen (Tylenol). This is due to its role as an antioxidant that restores glutathione and prevents damage from the formation of the toxic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinonimine (NAPQI).<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I have come to appreciate NAC for more than its role as \u201cliver protector\u201d and \u201cdefender\u201d of free radicals that cause havoc to our cellular physiology. Specifically, I have become intrigued with its current off-label use for psychiatric disorders. This had me exploring the implications of using it to aid in the relief of a very misunderstood and heavily stigmatized population in healthcare. Fascinated, I wanted to know more about how it worked.<\/p>\n<p>On my recent post, I begin with a definition of NAC, its common mechanism, and a non-nerdy explanation of oxidative stress and free radicals. I also start the discussion on how this antioxidant provides evidence of how natural products and essential oils work by more than one mechanism and their holistic applications.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/n-acetylcysteine-nac-oxidative-stress-free-radical-glutathione-mental-brain-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here <\/a>to learn more and access the many references.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Interested in Learning More About Essential Oils Or a Consult with Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-839 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2019\/03\/essential-oils-1851027_1280-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2019\/03\/essential-oils-1851027_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2019\/03\/essential-oils-1851027_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2019\/03\/essential-oils-1851027_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2019\/03\/essential-oils-1851027_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dr-lobisco.marketingscents.com\/cp\/24383\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn More and\/or Sign Up Now<\/a> to Be on My Waiting List!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Want to Learn More About Essential Oils and\/or Working with Me as a Client?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit my website here<\/a> and make sure to sign up for my mailing list!<\/p>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This material is for information purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any illness.
