UPDATE ON NAC FOR AUTISM
Posted: June 2, 2012 Filed under: Health Leave a comment »We heard from BioAdvantex, the makers of the NAC product used in the study about how NAC may reduce irritability and repetitive behavior for people with autism. They clarified that the NAC product used in the study is being sold as an over the counter product. For more information, please see BioAdvantex’s clarification below:
“As a representative of BioAdvantex , the company that provided the NAC tablets to the study, I would like to clarify that the reference of “pharmaceutical grade” was to the active used in the product. The NAC used in PharmaNAC effervescent tablets is pharma grade. PharmaNAC is a otc product and available in many countries. What Dr. Hardan is referring to is the quality of the otc NAC. It is important to ensure that otc NAC uses pharma grade active and tablets are individually packaged to prevent oxidation as opposed to a bottle of pills which may oxidize every time the bottle is opened!”
