Answers:
Hi Cat. NAC is the precursor to glutathione (GSH). GSH is the most important antioxidant in the body. It is also critical for detoxification of many chemicals, toxins, and normal metabolic byproducts. It also plays important roles in amino acid transport into cells and other vital functions such as maintaining cellular redox status. It does NOT increase methylation.
It may not be rational to think of this nutrient as a 'drug' that 'treats symptoms'. Rather, think of it as a vital nutrient that helps maintain healthy functioning of many critical biochemical processes.
Best wishes and good luck.
