Taking NAC with progesterone may decrease progesterone levels. This interaction can impact hormone therapy effectiveness. Monitoring and adjustments may be necessary. NAC may activate ER-stress-induced UPR signaling, reducing progesterone production. UPR, or Unfolded Protein Response, is a cellular stress response related to protein folding. This process can affect hormone production in certain tissues.
