“We began taking pantethine (disulfide bond of pantetheine), NAC and taurine based on our metabolic model two years ago.
“

what is the purpose for taking these substances?

NAC is an antioxidant and a precursor for glutathione, with some other benefits.

It is involved. Simply, these are the entry points to enhance reactive species (ROS) scavengers. These include glutathione peroxidase, cysteamine and hypotaurine. Taurine is more specific to skeletal muscle and hepatic processes.

We came up with a treatment for a rare degenerative disorder and stumbled upon a cycle that encompasses other neurodegenerative disease as well as sarcopenia and frailty. Controlling insulin resistance too is critical for improved outcomes. We see that now with the coronavirus.

If pantethine is the same thing as Pantothenic Acid, then that is a B vitamin very important for strengthening the adrenal glands. I have been taking 200 to 500 mg. of PA for many years. The purpose for taking this supplements to to strengthen the immune system to either not get sick or only mildly ill or not get so sick you die. My personal recommendation for this period if not yet sick is:

One gram of Vitamin C in the morning and in the evening
One quality multivitamin/multimineral in the morning, and in the evening if under stress
2000 to 5000 IU of Vitamin D
Several calcium/magnesium/zinc tablets a day
Other supplements that you have found helpful

If ill or trying to help someone ill, Google the writings of Dr. Cathcart regarding use of high and intravenous Vitamin C dosage to save lives.
