> KaraHi Kara,
Sorry to make cysteine sound bad! It really depends on the individual, but cysteine in excess can be toxic. I'm finding that after a week of supplementation, I can't tolerate it - but if I take methyl donors, I don't get those reactions so quickly. My friend with MS collapsed when she took NAC, but I know other people who can take it without any problems.
