Methionine
What is Methionine used for?
Methionine is an essential amino acid found in meat, fish, and dairy products. Amino acids are the building blocks used to make proteins. Methionine cannot be made by the body, so it must be consumed in the diet. It plays an important role in the many functions within the body. Methionine is an antioxidant. It may help protect the body from damage caused by ionizing radiation. It may detoxify harmful substances in the body. These include heavy metals.
- Hare care: Methionine helps prevent hair loss, thanks to its sulfur content. Like cysteine, this sulfur ingredient helps strengthen hair and reduce risks of breakage.
Methionine is an aliphatic, sulfur-containing, essential amino acid, and a precursor of succinyl-CoA, homocysteine, cysteine, creatine, and carnitine. Recent research has demonstrated that methionine can regulate metabolic processes, the innate immune system, and digestive functioning in mammals.
Methionine in proteins fulfils an important antioxidant role, stabilizes the structure of proteins, participates in the sequence‐independent recognition of protein surfaces, and can act as a regulatory switch through reversible redox reactions.
