N-Acetylcysteine Anxiety Meta-AnalysisBackground Nutraceutical supplementation targeting mitochondrial function has been proposed as a beneficial therapeutic strategy to improve physical and mental health in psychiatric patients.1Tortajada J (2026)Clinical outcomes of mitochondrial-enhancing nutraceutical supplementation in psychiatric disorders: A systematic review.
N-Acetylcysteine Anxiety Meta-AnalysisAims To summarise the results of studies evaluating nutraceutical supplementation targeting mitochondrial function in patients with psychiatric disorders.1Tortajada J (2026)Clinical outcomes of mitochondrial-enhancing nutraceutical supplementation in psychiatric disorders: A systematic review.

N-Acetylcysteine Anxiety Meta-AnalysisBeyond traditional models, recent evidence highlights that severe stress exposure, such as war-related trauma, can trigger profound depressive reactions and post-traumatic symptoms through a cascade of inflammatory activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and redox imbalance [].1Ahmed Mohamed Awad E.

N-Acetylcysteine Anxiety Meta-AnalysisAlthough limited evidence directly targeted the effect of NAC on co-occurring PTSD and AUD, (Back et al., 2025) found that NAC showed good tolerability and reductions in craving symptoms, but results did not reach statistically significant group differences [,].1Ahmed Mohamed Awad E.
