Cystine

Introduction

Cystine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, which is composed of two cysteine ​​molecules connected by a disulfide bond. It is one of the basic units of protein and plays an important role in many biological processes.

Ingredients

The chemical name of cystine is L-3,3′-dithiobis(2-aminopropionic acid), and its molecular formula is C₆H₁₂N₂O₄S₂. Structurally, it consists of two cysteine ​​residues connected by a disulfide bond (-S-S-). This disulfide bond structure gives cystine some special chemical properties and physiological functions.

Advantages

Important physiological functions: Cystine is one of the essential amino acids for the synthesis of protein in the human body, and is essential for maintaining the normal physiological structure and function of the body.
Antioxidant effect: Cystine can be converted into cysteine ​​in the body, and then participate in the synthesis of glutathione.
Promote wound healing: Cystine helps the synthesis of collagen, which is an indispensable component in the wound healing process.

Applications

Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory: Ingredients such as ferulic acid have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, and can be used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, reduce inflammatory responses, and regulate immune function.
Cosmetic field: The antioxidant and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing effects of Chuanxiong extract make it also have certain applications in cosmetics.
