Oxidative stress may trigger the collapse of hair follicle-immune privilege Hair follicles are immune privilege organs, which prevent their own antigens from being presented to CD8 + T cells by downregulating the expression of MHC class I molecules in anagen hair follicles

Some refer to it as the master antioxidant because it plays a significant role in the bodys ability to utilize and recycle other antioxidants like vitamins E and C, CoQ10, and alpha lipoic acid.* [1] Glutathione comes in two forms: oxidized glutathione (GSSG, or the inactive form) and reduced glutathione (GSH or L-glutathione, the active form)

In contrast to glutathione, NAC is efficiently transported into the cell where it is readily converted to L-cysteine for glutathione synthesis

Oxidative stress (OS), an unbalance between the oxidation and antioxidant defense systems, is believed to be associated with AA and may trigger the collapse of hair follicle-immune privilege
