Do you need a supplement? No.
We put forward no supplement for L-cystine: that would be forcing a need that does not exist. The great majority of medicines call for no particular supplementation, and acknowledging this is part of the way we work. We design a supplement only where the data support it, across five specific classes.

A space to share among people who are affected: the early days, the habits built up over the years, what each person has found to live better with it. Shared experiences, nothing medical.
