l-Methionine is an essential amino acid that
provides nutritional support for the building blocks and proteins of the human
body.* Various Physiological Support Properties:
Methionine contains sulfur, an important component of cartilage building blocks
such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Methionine is incorporated into
tissue proteins and enzymes and is a component of active peptides, including
methionine enkephalin and various endorphins. One of the main roles of
methionine is as a methyl donor, contributing to numerous physiological pathways
in the body including formation of myelin components. In one such pathway,
methionine converts to s-adenosylmethionine. In studies, l-methionine has
demonstrated the ability to promote healthy cellular metabolism, enzyme
activity, and glutathione concentration. Methionine, like choline and betaine,
is also a lipotropic compound supporting lipid metabolism and enhancing healthy
hepatic function. In combination with antioxidants, methionine may play a role
in healthy pancreas function.* Pure Encapsulations l-Methionine is synthetically
derived. Pure Encapsulations recommends 2–3 capsules per
