Preclinical studies lasting up to 6 weeks showed no adverse effects across liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, thymus, prostate, and ovary tissues
For example, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that supplementation with N-acetylcysteine (a precursor to glutathione) eliminated negative effects of oxidative stress, even when they were exposed to high levels of oxidative stress
The stakes for regulatory precedent are real
Plants employ multiple adaptive strategies to mitigate salt stress: deep root systems improve water and ion homeostasis, the SOS pathway and Na/H antiporters regulate intracellular ionic concentrations, and transcription factors such as bZIP , NAC , and WRKY orchestrate antioxidant defenses and metabolic adjustments
