Description

This precursor to glutathione synthesis depletes at a high rate and may be related to premature skin aging. It is recognized as a potent, antioxidant amino acid.

ʟ-⁠Cysteine can be obtained from dietary protein or synthesized from the amino acid ʟ-⁠methionine. Its depletion may be partially related to the faster aging of skin, especially with smokers. ʟ-⁠Cysteine can act as an antioxidant.

ʟ-⁠Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid which, together with glycine and glutamic acid, forms the all-important antioxidant glutathione. ʟ-⁠Cysteine also contributes to protein formation in the form of beta-⁠keratin, which is a major component of skin, hair, and nails.

Targeted supplementation with ʟ-⁠cysteine could prove to be indispensable to your ongoing health and vitality.
