Quality sleep supports the bodys natural detoxification processes and promotes glutathione production

Although the direct cytotoxic effects of high cellular GSSG levels have been documented in a variety of cell types 33,34,35,36 , our cell culture studies with hepatocytes revealed that increased GSSG accumulation, despite being non-toxic per se, could sensitize hepatocytes to TNF-induced killing, suggesting that GSSG and TNF can synergistically induce hepatocyte death and that GSSG-triggered sensitization to TNF hepatotoxicity represents a clinically relevant process that may account for disease progression in NAFLD
Results obtained from randomized clinical trials, however, were inconsistent and in some circumstances have indicated that antioxidants increase cancer risk (Klein et al., 2011
By serving as a direct precursor to glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, NAC offers a targeted approach to supporting liver detoxification, neutralizing neuroinflammation, and rescuing exhausted cellular energy pathways
