Women with high blood levels of cysteine appear to have a reduced risk of

developing breast cancer, according to US researchers. Glutathione, a

powerful antioxidant and detoxifying agent, which is used to cleanse the

body of harmful toxins, is derived from cysteine. N-acetylcysteine, a

synthetic precursor of cysteine, is used as a mucolytic agent and as an

antidote against paracetamol-induced liver damage.
