l-Methionine

Liver and pancreas support

* l-Methionine is an essential amino acid that contains sulfur,  which is 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. Studies have indicated that l-methionine  may 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.
