Function
As a sulfur-containing amino acid, L-Methionine participates in in-vivo protein synthesis and maintains the stability of the tertiary structure of proteins.
It is an important constituent of keratin, enzymes and antibodies.
L-Methionine takes part in methylation reactions in the human body and provides methyl groups for the synthesis of DNA and neurotransmitters.
In addition, L-Methionine facilitates the remethylation of homocysteine, reduces serum homocysteine levels and protects the cardiovascular system.
L-Methionine acts as a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione and taurine to strengthen the body's antioxidant capacity.
It is involved in hepatic detoxification reactions, accelerates the metabolism of heavy metals and medicines, and protects liver cells.
L-Methionine promotes the transport and oxidative decomposition of fat in the liver to prevent fatty liver disease.
It also regulates blood lipids and lowers cholesterol levels.
L-Methionine participates in keratin synthesis, sustains healthy hair and nails, and alleviates hair loss and brittle nails.
Application
Nutrient fortifier, applied in infant formula foods, dairy products, sports nutrition food and baked goods.
Feed additive for livestock, poultry and aquaculture.
It supplements essential amino acids, boosts growth, improves feed conversion ratio and enhances meat quality.
Liver-protecting products, homocysteine regulating supplements, hair & skin health supplements, sports nutrition supplements.
Raw material for amino acid infusions, used for adjuvant treatment of protein deficiency and hepatic insufficiency.
