- 1000 mg of L-methionine per daily intake;
- Essential amino acid.
Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid. It is one of the indispensable and vital for the body. It is not only a building block for many proteins, but also participates in important metabolic processes. Methionine is a precursor to other amino acids – cysteine and taurine, as well as the antioxidant glutathione.
The metabolically active form of methionine is S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is found in almost all body tissues and fluids and is necessary for the synthesis, stimulation, and breakdown of many substances in the body.
Vitaworld® Methionine is available in the free L-form for best digestibility. Each capsule contains 500 mg of methionine.
What is S -adenosyl- L -methionine and how does it work?
S-adenosyl-L-methionine, also called S-adenosyl methionine or SAM for short, is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body. It is made up of methionine , an essential amino acid found in food and plays a central role in important biochemical processes in the body, such as:
- maintaining the immune system;
- supporting cell membranes;
- production and breakdown of the brain chemicals melatonin and dopamine.
S-adenosyl methionine is a major substrate for transmethylation reactions, in which a methyl group is donated to multiple acceptor substrates, including phospholipids, DNA, and proteins.
SAM is central to the metabolism of all cells and its amount in the body depends on the availability of methionine, which in turn works with vitamin B12 and folate (vitamin B9 ). Deficiencies in these two vitamins can reduce SAM levels in the body.
Foods with the highest methionine content:
Foods that contain methionine are mainly rich in protein, such as meat and fish, dairy products, boiled eggs, but also soy, beans, and Brazil nuts.
What diseases and conditions can L-methionine help with?
Methionine lowers the pH of urine, which helps limit the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, by preventing them from attaching to the walls of the bladder.
People with liver disease are often unable to synthesize SAM in their bodies. Preliminary studies suggest that taking methionine increases SAM production, which in turn helps treat chronic liver disease caused by medication or alcoholism.
It also improves liver enzyme levels in people with the same diseases. It acts preventively, protecting the liver from damage.
Methionine improves cognitive symptoms, especially those related to memory.
It acts on regions of the brain that regulate gene expression of amyloid proteins - one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.
Methionine works to reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia, including pain, fatigue, morning stiffness, and depressed mood.
Several studies have confirmed that methionine reduces joint pain and inflammation. It is also effective in reducing swelling, improving range of motion, and increasing walking speed in people suffering from joint diseases.
Methionine also helps in treating mild to moderate depression and is just as effective as antidepressants, but does not exhibit side effects such as headaches and insomnia.
