Hi.
http://news.ufl.edu/2001/09/26/vitiminc/
Vitamin C isnt bad, and neither is NAC, but by some mechanism in this situation there were some pro-oxidant effects of supplementation,
People should limit their vitamin C intake until we know more,
"Because vitamin C and NAC in the body appear to react most negatively with iron, Leeuwenburgh said, those with inflammatory diseases and those who take more than the recommended daily allowance of iron should be particularly vigilant about limiting their vitamin C and NAC intake."
This pertains to muscle injury, but still. However, inflammation in the brain is a trait of depressive illness.
What do you guys make of this?
Where can I find material regarding the necessity to take vitamin-C along with NAC?
Thanks.
