What it is

L-Cystine is a amino acid & hair supplement. L-cystine is the stable disulfide-bonded dimer of cysteine, the key structural amino acid of keratin in hair and nails. Used in adult dosing protocols in India and internationally, it is sold as a single-ingredient supplement.

How it works

Cystine supplies the disulfide bonds that give hair and nails their strength; supplementation (often with B vitamins) supports hair density and reduces breakage. Effects are dose-dependent and typically measurable within 8-12 weeks.

Who should take it

Adults with brittle hair/nails or diffuse hair shedding seeking a keratin building block.

Avoid / careful

Generally well tolerated. Drink adequate water (sulfur amino acid). Caution in cystinuria.

When to take it

Morning
Noon

Night

How to take it
