Cysteine

Benefits And Uses For Cysteine:

Works as an antioxidant to help prevent aging, cancer, diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases.  For more detail, here are some recent books on cysteine. 

Deficiency Symptoms Of Cysteine:

Deficiencies will not occur if a well balanced diet is followed.  Strict Vegan diet may result in Cysteine deficiency.  Protein-amino acid deficiencies can lead to malnutrition, muscle breakdown, confusion, allergies, depression, diabetes, infection and schizophrenia.

Toxicity (Overdose) Symptoms Of Cysteine:

No toxic side-effects when manufactured in liver.  Excessive intake of Cysteine can cause liver damage, kidney stones, and mental disorders.

Foods High In Cysteine:

Non-essential amino acid (manufactured in the liver) so no need to include in diet. 

Supplements Of Cysteine:

Non-essential amino acid (manufactured in the liver) so no need to supplement.  Because of the risks of toxicity, we recommend no supplementation of Cysteine except under Doctor's supervision.  If you wish to increase your dietary intake, here are some well known sources of Cysteine supplements.

Health And Fitness For Life:

People looking for nutrient information usually want to avoid health problems, get the most out of life and the most life they can.  Not just physical existence, but mental and spiritual.  If you have more than body or looks in your health and fitness goals, you can find it spiritually through God.  He can heal the stuff your diet doesn't control and bring real health and fitness to your life.  If you want His help, go to Healing From God.
