Carol Ann, Free cysteine is toxic (Meister, 1984; Baruchel et at., 1996) and is poorly absorbed and transported. Another form N- acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is an amine protected version of cysteine. It is rapidly hydrolyzed in the body to cysteine and it has a vey short half-life. Not before some gets into the liver and this small percentage is indeed used by the liver.
But because the rest of the free cysteine is a toxin at the decent doses required regularly, outside of an emergency life- saving situation such as acetaminophen overdose it's not a good drug, and it's not a health supplement. Overall it's not particularly beneficial because of the toxin load trade-off. That's why I recommend undenatured whey for glutathione increase. The ALA is useful with the Whey.
