Symmetry
Products with Methionine: Lipo-Sorb
Methionine
is an essential amino acid that is not
synthesized by the body, and therefore
must be obtained from food. It is one
of the sulfur-containing amino acids and
is important in many body functions. Through
its supply of sulfur, it improves the
tone and pliability of the skin, conditions
the hair and strengthens nails. The sulfur
also protect the cells from free radical
damage and may slow down the aging process
in the cells, and is involved with the
production of protein. Methionine is essential
for the absorption and transportation
and bioavailability of selenium and zinc
in the body. It also acts as a lipotropic
agent to help prevent excess fat buildup
in the liver, and is an excellent chelator
of heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium
and mercury, binding them and aiding in
their excretion from the body.
Methionine is available from natural and
synthetic sources.

*Functions as building block of all proteins
