NAC without guanfacine improved several of my hyperactive symptoms and the other poster's skin picking if you'd like to mention that in the post.
Also, I think it's chelating effect on lead and other heavy metals in the bloodstream is valuable on it's own since we're still using leaded AVgas and such. Leaded gasoline is why engineers need history classes; the Romans showed us how great ingesting lead is, and then 2000 years we decide aerosolizing it sounded like a good idea‽
Leaded avgas is so low on the overall reasons to get lead contamination it’s not even worth mentioning. Not all aircraft use 100LL. You’d have to be a fueler at the airfield, spill gas on yourself regularly, and fly aircraft with leaky exhaust to even start to show signs of contamination. I’ve been around aircraft for decades and don’t have lead in blood tests, we all got checked when one of our kids did have it. Come to find out there is still lead in toy paints and “lead free solder” in electronics when manufacturers lie. Far more likely to come into contact with lead in products, house paint, or even plumbing than from any other source.
Thanks for providing context on how NAC might help.
