Cysteine
A sulphur-containing amino acid, isolated in 1884 by Eugen Baumann: its thiol group forms the disulphide bridges that stabilise proteins such as the keratin of hair and nails. It is also a building block of glutathione, the main antioxidant of cells. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Its name comes from the Greek kustis, bladder: its double form, cystine, was discovered in 1810 by William Hyde Wollaston in a urinary stone and called "cystic oxide".
