N-Acetilcisteina (NAC): un nutraceutico chiave nel supporto alle neurodivergenze

NAC is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, known for its ability to increase glutathione levels, the main endogenous antioxidant. This makes it a powerful modulator of oxidative stress and an ally of neuronal and mitochondrial function.

In the context of ADHD, autism, and AuDHD, research has shown that NAC can:

• Reduce neuroinflammation and improve communication between nerve cells
• Regulate glutamate activity, improving synaptic plasticity 
• Support microbiota health and the stability of the gut-brain axis
• Promote self-control, emotional calm, and concentration

It does not replace any medical treatment, but represents an interesting functional medicine tool for those who wish to approach neurodivergence in an integrated and systemic way (PNEI).
