About
You've probably heard about NAC if you've spent any time in a Trichotillomania support group—but does it actually work, and is it worth trying? N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is one of the most talked-about supplements for Trichotillomania, and one of the supplements I'm asked about most often. In this self-paced course, I take a deeper look at NAC through a Trichotillomania lens—what it is, why it may help reduce hair-pulling urges for some people, what the research actually tells us, and what you need to know if you're considering trying it for yourself or your child. Across four easy-to-follow modules, you'll learn: • What NAC is and how it works in the body • The relationship between NAC, cysteine and glutathione • What the adult and paediatric Trichotillomania studies actually found • How NAC may influence glutamate and repetitive behaviours • Why NAC may work for some people but not others • How to choose a quality NAC supplement • Dosing, timing and how NAC is absorbed • Potential side effects, cautions and contraindications • Frequently asked questions about long-term use, other supplements, alternatives, pregnancy and breastfeeding Most importantly, NAC isn't the whole picture. There is no single "magic" supplement for Trichotillomania. Throughout the course, I also explain why looking at underlying factors such as nutrient deficiencies, gut health, oxidative stress and other imbalances can be important when trying to understand your hair-pulling urges. If you've been wondering whether NAC is worth trying, this course will help you understand the research, the practical considerations and where NAC may fit into the bigger Trich recovery picture. 4 self-paced video modules | Instant access | $37 USD Educational information only.
