Cysteine is a non-essential sulfur amino acid, which plays a critical role in methionine, taurine and glutathione metabolism.* It is also an important component of hair, nails and the keratin of the skin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the L-Cysteine 500 mg Veg Capsules to support my hair and skin routine, and I like how easy they are to take. The capsules are smooth, vegan-friendly, and come from a brand I’ve trusted for years. They’ve become a natural part of my daily wellness habits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] NOW Foods L‑Cysteine 500 mg quietly leveled up my hair, skin, and nails. After a few weeks, I noticed my skin looks clearer and healthier. It’s gentle on my stomach, no side effects, and easy to take. Not dramatic overnight, but consistent use shows solid results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L-cysteine is a lesser known supplement that can help improve skin, hair, and nails and, so far, is helping my nails and skin and beginning to help my hair. I have been pregnant or breastfeeding for most of the past 16 years with only a couple years break or less in between, and have really felt my skin and hair decline since. My nails are also brittle and break really easily. My main concern is my hair shedding like crazy because I am 1.5 years post partum and my hair still hasn’t stopped falling out. I haven’t seen a huge change in my hair yet but I know any effective treatment can take up to a few month for results to be more noticeable. I have noticed my nails are growing a bit faster and stronger, as well as my skin is a bit smoother and clearer than usual. I can’t wait to see how much it will help my hair in the coming months. The capsule is on the larger size but still easily goes down with a bit of water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one snuck up on me in the best way. I started taking L-Cysteine mostly out of curiosity—I’d heard it could help with hair and nail strength, and I figured it was worth a try. A few weeks in, I noticed my nails weren’t peeling or breaking like they usually do, and my hair had this subtle shine that felt new. I wasn’t expecting such visible results, but I’m so glad I gave it a shot. I also love that it’s paired with Vitamin C, which feels like a thoughtful bonus. It’s simple, clean, and fits right into my routine without fuss. A quiet little glow-up in capsule form. I even got my BF to try it, and he loves it too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As I'm getting older I am looking for more and more supplements to assist with the general aging process to help keep everything on the up and up. I've been taking these for a few weeks and have noticed improvements in my hair and nails. At first glance these capsules appear to be large but went down very easy with water.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Postpartum changes are no joke, especially when you’re running after twins with a baby on your hip! I added NOW’s L-Cysteine to my supplement lineup to support hair strength and overall skin health, and I’ve seen such a difference. My hair feels fuller, my nails are stronger, and I love that it’s plant-based and free from unnecessary fillers. Things every mom cares about! It’s one of those small daily steps that helps me feel like I’m taking care of myself. If you’re a mom, I’m sure you’ll feel the difference taking this too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been taking L-Cysteine daily for about a month now. I added it mostly out of curiosity after reading about its role in antioxidant support and overall wellness. I usually take it in the morning when I’m getting ready, right around the same time I throw on my headphones and hop on the treadmill. It’s easy to take, hasn’t bothered my stomach, and feels like a solid addition to my routine. I don’t notice dramatic changes, but I like knowing I’m giving my body a little extra support. So far, it fits in well.
