Healthy skin, hair and nails
With Vitamins B-6 and C
Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid sulfate, which plays an important role in the metabolism of methionine, taurine and glutathione.
It is also an important component of hair, nails and skin keratin. Cysteine stabilizes protein structure and helps form collagen, thus essential for healthy skin, hair and nails.
Taurine plays an important role in the functioning of the nervous system and helps regulate blood pressure, maintain good vision, while enhancing thermogenesis and muscle building.
Glutathione is critical to the functioning of the immune system, as it is a powerful antioxidant that ensures healthy cellular function. L-cysteine supplementation increases NAC levels. NAC is known to increase glutathione levels in the blood and help maintain muscle mass.
L-cysteine can also be converted to glucose when blood glucose levels are low. This conversion can enhance the endurance of athletes. Physical exercise is known to increase oxidative stress and this can lead to immunosuppression. L-cysteine can help speed recovery.
NOW L-cysteine supplements may be most effective when used in combination with vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6, calcium, and selenium.
Take 1 tablet one to three times daily as needed.
