L-Methionine is one of the essential sulphur amino acids. It is called a “methyl donor.”
L-Methionine is one of the essential sulphur amino acids. Called a “methyl donor,” L-methionine contributes to the formation of numerous important compounds in your body; this process is called “methylation.”
The body cannot produce L-methionine; it must be obtained from food or supplement sources. Methionine functions as a sulphur donor to aid in your body’s detoxification processes and can convert to other sulphur amino acids. L-Methionine is also a transporter of the antioxidant mineral selenium.
In addition to its role as a precursor in protein synthesis, L-methionine participates in a wide range of biochemical reactions, including the production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), L-cysteine, glutathione, taurine, and sulfates. SAMe itself, as a methyl donor, is involved in the synthesis of creatine, epinephrine, melatonin, and the polyamines spermine and spermidine, among several other substances.
Adults: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule once or twice daily with food or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
