What is L-Cysteine?
L-Cysteine is a semi-essential, sulfur-containing amino acid naturally found in proteins. It plays a pivotal role in the body’s detoxification process, acting as a precursor to glutathione, one of the most important intracellular antioxidants. L-Cysteine supports immune function, liver health, and skin integrity, and is also widely used in industrial applications due to its reducing properties.
In the food industry, L-Cysteine is used as a dough softener (E920) to improve texture and elasticity in baked goods. It is also employed in flavor synthesis (e.g., meat flavors) and cosmetic formulations for its antioxidant and skin-repair properties. Our L-Cysteine is produced via non-GMO fermentation, making it suitable for vegetarian and halal/kosher applications.
