Amino Acids
L-Cysteineis a non-essential amino acid that is an important component of hair, nails and the keratin of the skin. L-Cysteine stabilizes protein structure and aids in the formation of collagen, thereby promoting healthy skin, hair and nail texture and elasticity.
Benefits and Uses
• antioxidant properties
• improves nail and hair texture and elasticity
• promotes healthy skin, hair and nails
• strengthens protective lining of the stomach and intestines
• plays an important role in the communication between immune system cells
Preliminary evidence also suggests that NAC supplements:
• may improve symptoms associated with Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune disorder characterized by dry mouth and dry eyes).
• enhances cognitive functioning in some individuals with Alzheimer's disease
• prevent development of cataracts and macular degeneration
• slows down motor impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, often called Lou Gehrig's disease which is a progressive loss of control of voluntary muscles due to destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord)
• helps treat hepatitis C when combined with standard medical treatment
• helps increase HDL cholesterol (the good kind of cholesterol)
• helps increase fertility along with fertility drugs in people with polycystic ovary disease
• helps improve outcome in children with advanced cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, a type of leukemia
• may be useful in treating cocaine addiction. Twenty-three cocaine addicts completely or significantly reduced their use of cocaine during treatment with NAC in a small clinical study.
