Cysteine is called a semi-essential or conditionally essential amino acid. Our body can make this sulphur-containing amino acid itself from the amino acid l-methionine. However, under certain circumstances, the conversion of l-methionine to l-cysteine is insufficient to provide our body with the right amount. The amino acid cysteine occurs naturally in protein-rich foods, such as dairy and meat. The acetylated form n-acetyl-cysteine does not occur in our food and is only available in supplement form.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">Difference between n-acetyl-cysteine and cysteine</span></h4> <p>The use of n-acetyl-cysteine compared to cysteine supplementation has the advantage that the substance is better tolerated, has a higher biological availability and is less susceptible to degradation by oxidation. In the body, n-acetyl-cysteine is easily converted to cysteine, which can be used in protein synthesis. In addition, it is a powerful precursor of substance <a style="color:#78509a;text-decoration:underline;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/products/vimergy-glutathione/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">glutathion</a>.</p>
