NAC stands for N-Acetyl Cysteine. It's an amino acid that may help with ocd. There's not a lot of quality information regarding NAC and ocd, however it seems to be an emerging area of study. I ran across a wonderful article about NAC on the blog "Healthy Fellow". The link to the article is http://www.healthyfellow.com/401/nac-for-mental-health/.
The article references a research study that's being done at Yale. Information about the study can be found on the U.S. National Institutes of Health's website. The link to the specific study is http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00539513?term=n+acetylcysteine&rank=33. I'd really like to participate in the study but don't live close enough to Yale to be able to. As of right now as I type this they are still looking for study participants.
