Welcome back to my channel, if you're new here, thank you for stopping by, i hope my content interests you and encourages you to give me a like and hit the subscribe button and without further ado, i'm gon na get right to it. So recently i was looking in the mirror and i realized i was sprouting a gray hair top of my head and i figured there must be something out there in the scientific world, i'm always science driven. So there must be something out there that can help someone who doesn't want to go grey and something beyond a bottle of hair dye. I know lots of people do it if you do it good for you, but for me i am not used to dyeing my hair at any great frequency, and i wouldn't like to have to unless i wanted some. You know. Maybe some nice highlights, i'm not yeah. Might we might try something like that, but i wanted to find out. Can i stop the grain process? Can i even reverse it? So i did some research online and i discovered something called knack: n acetyl cysteine, it's out there as nac nac. If you go to your health, food store, they'll probably have it, you won't find it in your standard grocery store and what knack is is a very powerful antioxidant. Now before i go any further into my video, this is a knack video. I am not a licensed physician. I do not purport to have any knowledge and advise people on what to put into their bodies disclaimer alert. I am not offering this as advice to anyone, but i'm just telling you what i have tried and you can follow me along my journey. I do love experiments. Knack is an fda approved, prescription drug, that's why you wouldn't find it mixed into supplements. It'S a standalone that you'll find in tablet form on the shelves and it is not recommended in supplements because it is a prescription drug. Now some people claim that you can take it and you can reverse or even halt the grain process. So that is what put it on my radar of things to try so about three weeks ago i started taking knack and i take 600 milligrams once in the morning, when i wake up, and once at bedtime, i figured twice daily should be good enough about 1200 Milligrams per day, so knack is a powerful antioxidant, it's a precursor to the formation of glutathione in the body which is naturally occurring and it helps in cellular function for repair, and it helps elimination of free radicals that cause oxidative stress of the cells in the body. I made my notes here, so i don't give you misinformation so by taking knack what i'm doing is helping my body to replenish any glutathione that has been lost, so i'm keeping my glutathione levels up in my body now cysteine, which is, as you can hear in The name and acetylcysteine cysteine that is a semi-essential amino acid. You can find cysteine in eggs, chicken beef anything high protein. Really you can find cysteine it's one of the building blocks of the keratin strands in our hair neck binds with glutamine and glycine to form the antioxidant glutathione glutathione helps rid the body of cellular damage in free radicals. Now we have different systems built in different ways of eliminating free radicals in our bodies. By increasing the amount of glutathione in our bodies, we can snatch out some of those free, radical molecules that wreak havoc tending our cells to entropy. So i made a list here of the benefits of glutathione, which knack is a precursor to so the benefits really of adding knack to my diet. Number one on the list is getting rid of the damaging free radicals, those that destroy the cells or help break down of the cells, reducing oxidative stress and by reducing the oxidative stress, that's happening in the body. It lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes and infertility. Now these are some facts and details that i gathered on webmd, so, according to them, it also helps maintain a healthy immune system. It also helps liver and kidney function, so it helps with detoxification of these organs, in particular with knack when you ingest it orally. The bioavailability, the amount of neck that is absorbed via your gastrointestinal tract is not that great, because it goes via the hepatic portal vein into the liver and it metabolizes some of the neck that you have consumed. So it doesn't have a great bio availability. When you take it orally, but it does help boost your glutathione levels enough that it should make a difference. Okay, number, six on the list: it improves respiratory health, it reduces wheezing and coughing in people with bronchitis and asthma related illnesses. So it helps to keep your lungs healthy. Also, it helps with reducing the symptoms of copd. It aids, brain health. According to webmd, improves depression, bipolar disorder, symptoms. It may also slow down the loss of thinking associated with alzheimer's. You start to think a bit slower and knack is supposed to from research, and i think this was old research. I'M not sure what recent studies are out there, but they said that it helps with brain health. It also helps decrease withdrawal, symptoms associated with cocaine, addiction, withdrawal, symptoms for drugs and, according to once that it even decreased the cravings associated with nicotine and marijuana and last on my list and, very importantly, for females. It helps with polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is the well a symptom of which is the acne, those big red, deep, angry pimples that you get that pop up. Sorry they pop up around your cycle time and they really wreak havoc on your skin so knack because it has this strong anti-inflammatory power. It reduces cystic acne from reading they recommended it at a dose of 1800 milligrams per day and again. This is not my medical advice being offered for me to you. So after reading all of these positives about taking knack, i thought it's something that i would like to give a try. My usual antioxidant that i use would be vitamin c. You know i drink my cranberry juice stuff, like that, i believe in beta-carotene and brightly colored fruits and vegetables. All of those help to reduce oxidative stress on the cells of the body. So i try to incorporate these things into my diet. Now the side effects of mac when taken orally include mind you most people. The average person does not have any side effects, but the side effects listed were dry, mouth, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea interactions. I looked up as well for anyone who would be on medication. Of course, you should consult your physician if you decide to take any supplements at all, and the among the interactions were interaction with nitric. Glycerins you'll find those in heart medication, interaction with activated charcoal, so if they were administering it to a patient who had ingested too much overdosed on acetaminophen, then and then the patient may have been treated with activated charcoal. This would matter um administering knack. The efficacy of knack would not be as significant because of the activated charcoal in the system of the person. Also chloroquine interacts, that is anti-malaria drug, a treatment, um high blood pressure. Medication can also interact and anti-coagulant medicines that slow the cotton of the blood those also interact with neck. So after researching knack, i felt very happy incorporating it into my daily regimen into my daily regimen and i so far, i'm very pleased with the results, because that teeny, tiny gray that i had sprouting there is beginning to look to me slightly reddish.
