ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID

DL-methionine is a combination of the biologically active L-methionine and its optical isomer, D-methionine. D-methionine is not proteogenic, unlike L-methionine.

It is an essential amino acid and is a main component in structural proteins, and serves as a methyl donor in biochemical reactions. An intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-cysteine, L-carnitine, taurine, lecithin, phosphatidylcholine, and other phospholipids, as well as the enzymatic cosubstrate, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM). Because it is an essential amino acid, it is not synthesized in the human body and must be supplied by dietary intake or supplementation.

Supplements, such as this, are necessary for protein synthesis and provide support for healthy metabolic, central nervous and immune system function.

Your body uses it to make the substance called creatine, another type of amino acid. It also contains sulfur, which your body uses to promote healthy growth and metabolism. SAMe helps to support the normal function of your immune system, neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and melatonin, and your body’s cell membranes.

Although in itself it doesn’t necessarily help to promote weight loss, the substance creatine that’s made in your body from methionine might in fact help you to lose weight. In the supplement form of creatine, monohydrate, this product could potentially help improve athletic performance and your body’s ratio of muscle to fat. Although creatine supplements are widely marketed as sports-performance enhancers and weight-loss pills, no conclusive medical evidence supports the use of creatine for these purposes. Always take with advice from a qualified medical professional.
