L-Cysteine, also known as Cysteine, is an indispensable amino acid present in proteins, plays a vital role in numerous biological processes. This sulfur-containing amino acid participates in diverse metabolic pathways. L-Cysteine acts as a potent antioxidant, effectively neutralizing harmful free radicals and safeguarding cells against oxidative harm. Additionally, it contributes to the production of proteins, enzymes, and hormones. By virtue of its sulfur content, L-Cysteine can bind to metals like iron and copper, facilitating their utilization in various metabolic pathways.
