L-Methionine
Methionine is an essential amino acid as the body cannot produce it. It is a constituent of the cellular cofactor known as S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). SAM and vitamin B12 work together to regulate homocysteine levels which influence cardiovascular health. It may also contribute to serotonin levels and thus influence mood and brain function. Sulfur-based amino acids, methionine and cysteine, can affect hair follicle function leading to improved hair growth and better pigmentation of the hair.
L-Methionine can be found in eggs, meat and brazil nuts.
Benefits:
- Produces the co-factor SAM (S-adenosylmethionine).
- Contributes to a healthy heart.
- Methionine increases the levels of the antioxidant, glutathione.
- It is required for hair growth and colour.
