^(*) See References and Disclaimer at the bottom of the page. 

Our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear) contains cystine which is used for respiratory conditions like chronic bronchitis^(1*). Cystine increases white blood cells' activity that effectively strengthens the immune system^(2*). Cystine is an antioxidant and helps the body against damaging air pollution and the sun’s radiation. Cystine can also assist in slowing down the aging process and with protein synthesis^(3*).

Cystine also forms skin cells; therefore, supplementing with cystine may help in post-surgical operations and burns. Human skin and hair are 10-14% cystine^(4*).

Cystine is an essential precursor to glutathione, among the body's most potent antioxidants^(4*). Cystine also plays a huge role in stabilizing and balancing enzymes and proteins and is vital for the metabolism of various other biochemicals such as biotin, heparin, lipoic acid, and coenzyme A^(5*).
