Hi Joy,
Inositol and NAC are not totally unknown to the mainstream medical community in that there have been a small number of clinical studies studying the efficacy of these supplements.
There is an overall review in the Journal of Affective Disorders (2011).
Title: Complementary medicine, self-help and lifestyle interventions for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the OCD spectrum: A systematic review
Authors: Jerome Sarris, David A. Camfield, Michael Berk
Perhaps you could get a copy of this paper via your library.
However, I would note that usually 18 g/day is considered the efficacious dose for inositol.
I hope your son finds success on these supplements!
