Glutathione versus N-Acetyl Cysteine for Nervous System Disorders
This study and the related papers show complexity in trying to treat nervous system issues via the manipulation of glutathione. As I look at online posts people make and opinions posed it is clear that this evolving area of neurobiology needs more “fleshing out” for clinicians. This is not a bad thing – every time there is this type of confusion it indicates that new information needs to be incorporated into our existing knowledge base (and that treating human beings isn’t as easy as it looks).
