Overview
A nonessential amino acid, cysteine is sulfur-containing, which means it helps positively maintain the structure of proteins in the body. Since it's also a component of the powerful free-radical fighter glutathione, cysteine serves as a powerful antioxidant. Cysteine, though, is rarely used as a supplement. N-acetylcysteine* (or NAC for short) is more commonly used as a supplement because it is a more stable and readily absorbable form. As well, NAC, and not cysteine, has been used in almost all research that demonstrate its positive effects.
