What is L-Cysteine?

Cysteine is a non-essential sulfur amino acid, which plays a critical role in methionine, taurine and glutathione metabolism.  It is also an important component of hair, nails and the keratin of the skin. Cysteine stabilizes protein structure and aids in the formation of collagen, being thereby indispensable to skin, hair and nail health.

HEALTH BENEFITS:

• Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails
• With Vitamins B-6 and C
• Supports Protein Synthesis
• Supports Detoxification
• Supports Collagen Production
• Support Glutathione Production

Support:

L-Cysteine is valued for its ability to increase glutathione levels in the body, the “mother of antioxidants.” It works as an antioxidant, and it helps boost lung and brain function, and promote liver detoxification.

L-Cysteine amino acid is one of the main building blocks of keratin, a fibrous protein that makes up the structure of skin, nails and hair. Without enough L-cysteine to maintain keratin structures, hair will weaken and be prone to breakage. L-cysteine is essential in helping the body to metabolize certain nutrients, including biotin, which is an important nutrient for hair growth.
