Description

Methionine is an essential amino acid and should be part of your daily diet. This sulfur-containing amino acid is important for many functions in the body. It promotes healthy skin, nails, and hair, protects cells from free radical damage, and slows the aging process within cells.

Methionine helps detoxify the body from dangerous heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. It also aids in digestion. Methionine exerts a lipotropic effect and helps prevent excess fat accumulation in the liver, heat, and artieries. It is needed for the assimilation and transportation of zinc and selenium.
