advise on L-Cysteine

(Kuni) said:

I heard a lot about L-Cysteine, how good they are and stuff.
I found following major manufacture that has L-Cysteine supplyment.
Does anybody has a good idea which one is the best or
at least the characteristics of each product.

Actually, the N-acetyl version (N-acetylcysteine or NAC) is probably
the best form. As to what company, I don't know.
www.consumerlabs.com is a good place to start, but they have yet to
review NAC.

I use a rather costly form (relatively) from Germany avialable at the
New York Buyers' Club ( www.newyorkbuyersclub.org ). Jarrow also makes
a decent product....basically, if it stinks TOO much like rotten eggs
(NAC is a sulfur-containing amino acid), it is probably too oxidized.
Some smell is common--except with the German type I use.
