Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Supplements studied for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Overview
Inositol (DEX Score 32; very low effect size, low evidence, medium trust) has insufficient evidence for PTSD. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) (DEX Score 44; low effect size, low evidence, medium trust) has one small study in veterans with PTSD and past substance use where NAC plus therapy reduced depression and PTSD symptoms and craving frequency versus therapy alone, without changing substance use.
Overall supplement evidence for PTSD is very limited. The heatmap and evidence reviews below provide trial detail.
