samE and NAC

[lfran]

Can someone please post about these? And, can you take them while on antibiotics?

 

Thanks.

I haven't heard about these being bad to take with abx. I can see why they could be helpful with abx. SAMe is often taken for mood, but can also help with liver function. NAC is a key ingredient in making glutathione, which is very important for detoxing.

This is the best intro to SAMe I've found but it's 12 yrs old.

After reading the article, I thought we'd try it, so I asked my LLMD. He didn't go into detail. He only said we could try it if we wanted but he used to suggest it for his patients but wasn't big on it anymore. He didn't elaborate. He said he prefers glutathione and ALA.

 

I asked about NAC on the Pandas forum - April? maybe - and Nancy Mom with OCD son had some info she shared. You could post a similar question or PM her. We ended up not trying either for the moment, since we're waiting on KPU results before deciding next steps.
