Methionine Amino Acid

Methionine (or L-Methionine) is an antioxidant and essential amino acid found in food and supplemental form. It’s used by the body to make proteins and peptides. It is readily available in protein rich foods such as; meat, fish and dairy products, as well as nuts and grains. It supports the production of glutathione, arguably the body’s most important antioxidant, so is of considerable importance to the body’s natural detoxification processes. Once consumed, this amino can be converted into SAMe (S-Adenosyl Methionine) – a unique compound that has proven to be effective in the treatment of mood disorders and arthritis. As a supplement, it is commonly recommended to boost immunity, strengthen bones, support liver health, aid weight loss and detoxify heavy metals.

Methionine Supplements

These supplements are typically offered in encapsulated powder form. Because this amino is abundant in protein rich foods, no official dosing has been established for these supplements. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a ballpark recommended daily intake for adults is 13mg / per kg of body weight / per day, including that which comes from diet. 250mg daily /approximately 25% of the recommended daily intake of methionine, has been shown safe and effective in a variety of applications.

A blend of the two is called DL-methionine and is especially indicated for hair, skin, and nail health.
