NOW Supplements, L-Cysteine 500 mg with Vitamins B-6 and C, 100 Tabs

I purchased this supplement to help keep my intestines health. I am pleased with results. Helped my digestive system get on a consistent daily cycle. Great price, quantity, quality tablets are a little large but still easy to swallow.

I don't think that science has fully confirmed this, but my impression is that this supplement helps a lot with hangovers. In my experience, it won't really prevent them, but it does seem to help avoid catastrophic hangovers from a really big night. I used to get 36-hour hangovers sometimes and those don't ever seem to happen if I take at least one of these at the beginning and the end of the night. So I keep these around mostly for that purpose, but they might possibly have some other benefits. It tastes pretty bad so don't let it linger in your mouth before swallowing. It's smooth and about the size of a multivitamin so it goes down easy. The theory that led me to this is that this supplement helps your body metabolize acetaldehyde. With a balanced diet, it probably doesn't do much, but in brief periods of having a very unbalanced diet, like a bachelor/bachelorette party, I think it helps. And I've definitely never experienced any side effects from taking this supplement, so I consider it cheap insurance.

This is the main ingredient in the Cheers brand pills for hangover cures. You can definitely taste the vitamin c.

I used this supplement to help with acne scars and hyperpigmentation. This brand is my trusted brand of supplements for a while. The tablet is kinda big. I already used it for 1.5 months and have seen some improvement in some particular areas, so to me, it is quite effective and functional. It is tasteless. I’m still looking to see its brightening effect, but so far nothing is visible yet. I will update my review when more things come to light.

I've suffered a few years of increasingly horrible hangovers -- from even as low alcohol usage as 2-3 beers. It got worse over time to the extent that if I had 4 beers (or glasses of wine, or similar amount of alcohol) _even over a course of whole evening_ I would have been severly ill the following day -- and usually only starting in the afternoon. Now, I'm 186cm/85kg (about 6'1"/around 190lbs) guy and in my 20's, early 30's had no issues with clearly higher alcohol consumption so I was quite surprised about this. I have asked a number of doctors about this over the course of the past few years and it's left some puzzled and some worried. My liver values, etc health indicators that have been tested all showed normal. Nothing seemed out of ordinary. So, a friend of mine recommended L-Cysteine with advice to take one tablet before drinking any alcohol and possibly another after every 4-5 drinks to ensure L-Cysteine level stays high enough in the body. This would handle the acetaldehyde in alcohol and what created in the burning of alcohol in liver. I first tried a cough medicine (yes, you read correct) that has acetylcysteine, which also tackles acetaldehyde albeit in a slightly different way. To my huge surprise it worked. With around 12 drinks over the course of a long evening and night I had practically zero hangover the next day (counting out slight tiredness, which was to be expected simply from going to sleep late). But there was no throwing up involved, not for the whole afternoon, not "even" once -- which had become a norm with all alcohol consumption at/above 4 drinks. Since the initial experience I've tested L-Cysteine in two different forms: This NOW Foods tablet as well as a capsule from a Finnish biotech company (http://www.acetium.com/) and both have worked in described above. (I should add that taking vitamin B6 was also recommended to me in conjunction to taking L-Cysteine so I've taken that separately both with Acetium and acetylcysteine whereas in this NOW Foods tablet it's included). I have to say that it's been a sort of a "life changer" to me that I've been able to drink alcohol again without having to think most of the next day that I might die. Perhaps having gotten this prolonged experience of being sensitive to alcohol was also a good thing as it certainly did reduce my consumption of alcohol quite significantly (which has continued after finding help from L-Cysteine) as I do rather well understand that even higher end moderate levels of alcohol usage does increase various health risks. But it's also quite nice that I don't need to fret about normal dinner drinks -- and it's also nice to be able to have a "thorough night out" sometimes w/out totally wrecking the next day. Finally, I want to point out that while there is a lot of information out there on this topic the above-noted http://www.acetium.com is a good site for focused and research-based information about this all.

This has a terrible taste even though I always take it with something other than water, to try to mask it. It fades quickly but it grosses me out for a few seconds every time. The tablets are enormous, and are sometimes difficult to swallow.

I tried everything, my skin was dry, my hair was falling out...all caused by stress per my doctor...ugh that didn't help, didn't want pills to cover the symptoms just wanted to be sad, and keep my hair and not itch. Vitamin B helped but not enough...then I added this....after a few weeks my hair stopped coming out in such huge amounts...and I itch less each week That's a win as far as I'm concerned.

Take these an hour before each meal and you will be way less hungry for that meal, it will help you eat less in a natural way. No side effects at all, this is an amino acid, same as you eat with any protein you eat from real food, Now foods is a great brand with their own manufacturing facilities, that gives me peace of mind, there are so many ghost companies trying to sell supps, plus supp industry is not regulated so the only thing you can do is buy from reputable brands.

Very Good for anti hair loss

Efficace

すごくお得で良いのですが、一粒が大き過ぎます。安いケース型のピルカッターではカットが難しいです。 amazonでAllex製の錠剤カットバサミを買いました。朝晩食後に半錠ずつ、ビタミンCと一緒に摂ってます。

Great for hair loss

These are smooth and easy to swallow despite being quite large. I bought these to reduce hangover the next day, after reading an article about it. They don't seem to work any better than the big Costco multivitamins. Or it could all be the placebo effect.
