Nomad:
Hi everyone ,
I was lately Reading about a study with N-acetylcystein in mices and it shows that it protects the Liver from Free Iron! Ok a Human is Not a Rat but I do know that they give it also to some onkology patients.
By the Way, Does someone using Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)?
Or know somthing about it? Andy?

Andy Battaglia:
Hana, that is the same tab I take daily. Good product.


Nomad, N-Acetyl Cysteine is an excellent antioxidant. In general, antioxidants protect the body from the damage iron causes.

As far as GABA, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16971751

Abstract
The effect of orally administrated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on relaxation and immunity during stress has been investigated in humans. Two studies were conducted. The first evaluated the effect of GABA intake by 13 subjects on their brain waves. Electroencephalograms (EEG) were obtained after 3 tests on each volunteer as follows: intake only water, GABA, or L-theanine. After 60 minutes of administration, GABA significantly increases alpha waves and decreases beta waves compared to water or L-theanine. These findings denote that GABA not only induces relaxation but also reduces anxiety. The second study was conducted to see the role of relaxant and anxiolytic effects of GABA intake on immunity in stressed volunteers. Eight acrophobic subjects were divided into 2 groups (placebo and GABA). All subjects were crossing a suspended bridge as a stressful stimulus. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels in their saliva were monitored during bridge crossing. Placebo group showed marked decrease of their IgA levels, while GABA group showed significantly higher levels. In conclusion, GABA could work effectively as a natural relaxant and its effects could be seen within 1 hour of its administration to induce relaxation and diminish anxiety. Moreover, GABA administration could enhance immunity under stress conditions.

Thanks Andy 4 the very quick answer. I might give it a try.
Do you have any Suggestion about how much ACC  someone should Take Daily?
I got me a Package of 100gr pure ACC for 17€ and take about 250mg every Day. In your opinion, is it less Or to much? Oh by the Way, cashews seem to have a similar effect like GABA.  :wink

Andy Battaglia:
Nomad,

Most of the NAC caps have 600-1000 mg. You might be able to bump the dose up.

I believe cashews stimulate production of GABA.

Nomad:
I will. I m also trying to find some IP6 here in Germany but all i Gounod was inositol-hexaniancinate. Also called Flush-free vit B3. Its not the same is it?
Ps: a handfull nuts, ( cashews macadamia almonds walnuts) is a musst! For many reasons...
