METHIONINE

Methionine increases the level of testosterone as it accelerates the metabolic burning of fats in the body and blood.

The first amino acid added during protein synthesis is always methionine.

ZMA (Zinc Methionine Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate and Vitamin B6) is more useful when taken together with zinc.

It removes heavy metals from the stomach and liver, and is the only amino acid containing sulfur atoms, deactivates free radicals, strengthens memory and has antioxidant value.

It triggers the amino acid cysteine ​​that produces glutathione that detoxifies the liver. It is one of the three amino acids responsible for the production of creatine monohydrate that provides energy production and storage in muscles.

PHARMACEUTICALS

It is used to treat cobalamin deficiency. Prolonged exposure to nitrogen oxides given for anesthesia during surgery can cause side effects similar to cobalamin deficiency. Some studies have shown that taking oral methionine before surgery may reduce these side effects of nitrous oxide.

Colon cancer. Eating a diet rich in methionine and folate (a type of vitamin B) helps to reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Neural tube birth defects. Women who consume more diet methionine during pregnancy seem to be at lower risk of neural tube birth defects.

Parkinson's. Early research has shown that oral administration of L-methionine for up to 6 months increases symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as tremor, inability to control movements, and increases stiffness.
