?-Cysteine can be obtained from dietary protein or synthesized from the amino acid ?-methionine. Its depletion may be partially related to the faster aging of skin, especially with smokers. ?-Cysteine can act as an antioxidant.
?-Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid which, together with glycine and glutamic acid, forms the all-important antioxidant glutathione. ?-Cysteine also contributes to protein formation in the form of beta-keratin, which is a major component of skin, hair, and nails.
