- Provides 500 mg of L-methionine in 1 serving
- Capsule shell of vegetable origin
- Exogenous sulfur amino acid
Aliness L-Methionine is a dietary supplement with L-methionine. One capsule provides 500 mg of this amino acid. The product does not contain gluten, soy or lactose. It is also GMO-free. It can be used by people on vegan and vegetarian diets.
L-methionine is classified as an essential (otherwise known as indispensable) amino acid. It cannot be independently produced by our body, so it must be supplied externally. Good sources of methionine are eggs, fish, meat and dairy products. It is also contained in products of plant origin, such as sesame, nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Methionine is a precursor for many key substances. It participates in the synthesis of homocysteine, cysteine, creatine, glutathione, keratin or S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe).
Methionine belongs to the group of sulfur amino acids. Like L-cysteine, it contains a sulfur atom in its structure, which is an important component of keratin. Keratin (not to be confused with creatine) is a fibrillar protein produced by keratinocytes. It is the basic building block of hair and nails, to which it imparts adequate elasticity and resistance to damage.
In summary, Aliness L-Methionine is a monopreparation that contains one of the essential essential amino acids that must be supplied to the body from the outside in adequate amounts.
