and related sulfur amino acids may be depleted.

This compound is sold as a dietary supplement commonly claiming antioxidant and liver protecting effects.
It is used as a cough medicine because it breaks disulfide bonds in mucus and liquefies it, making it easier

thick mucus in cystic and pulmonary fibrosis patients.
