learn L-cysteine

What is L-cysteine, and why is it often included in hair growth supplements? Cysteine is a building block of keratin, the main protein in hair. Whether cysteine supplements help hair in people who eat enough protein is unproven.
Can taking L-cysteine orally really strengthen hair from the inside? No verified study shows that L-cysteine on its own strengthens hair. The one controlled trial found tested a multi-ingredient supplement in women with shedding and did not measure hair strength.
