I’ve been taken l-cysteine for uninterrupted 2 years now, and I haven’t got not even a simple cold or flu. This supplement helps to support immune system, and I truly believe it does the job.

Quite smelly, but that’s how amino-acids are. Good product, helps hair to grow really fast!

I bought this as a hangover preventer.
.
Admittedly not the most controlled studies took place.
I tried taking 4 x pills before drinking.
Had 4 drinks then took 3 more pills and had probably 6 or 7 more drinks.
Still felt a bit groggy in the morning.
.
Basically the same way I would’ve felt if I didn’t take the pills.
.
I’ll try a few more times, but it doesn’t seem like it does anything for me.
Your mileage may vary.
If you get a headache from 1 glass of wine, maybe this will help.
I punch higher than that lightweight lmao.

This is vitamin is great for my teens sons acne. He went from 50 or so spots to zero when combined with panthothenic acid. 1 of the l cysteine and 2 panthothenic acids up to 3 times a day- improved it for him

Read about a study in Finland that seemed to prove this would drastically reduce nausea and other hangover effects. While she doesn’t drink often, on more than one occasion the effects have left her nauseated and sick for an entire day after.
She claims no such issues after trying this. We’ve tried it twice. 1000mg better than 500mg.

I read some like Finnish study where they tested L-Cysteine’s ability to “cure” a hangover. I got lit on purpose, took two of these before bed and woke up just fine. Everyone’s body is different but it worked for me.

I started taking this product to help fill-in some thinning spots on my scalp. It did not help with that but it did help to grow my existing hair much longer. Same affect for my nails… They grew super long which I actually didn’t want.
