N-Acetyl Cysteine für Hyperpigmentation

C Evidenz Begrenzte Evidenz aus kleinen Studien, aber es gibt einige positive Signale.

NAC effectively raises intracellular glutathione levels. A controlled trial found NAC (1,200 mg/day) reduced melanin index, potentially through enhanced glutathione-mediated melanin pathway modulation.
