Project Description
Product Description
There are two types of methionine—L-methionine (which is naturally-occurring) and D-methionine. Each contains the same chemical make-up, but the molecules are mirror images. A mixture of the two is called DL-methionine.
L-Methionine is a nutritional supplement as well as an essential amino acid found in food. Methionine is required for normal growth and repair of body tissues; it cannot be made by the body, but must be obtained from the diet; thus, it is considered an “essential” amino acid. Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that improves the tone and elasticity of the skin, promotes healthy hair, and strengthens the nails. Because of its excellent functions, it is widely used in the medical field.
Benefits
L-Methionine supplements are commonly taken to treat various infections and disorders, but there is limited scientific research to support the efficacy of the supplements for the treatment of diseases. However, methionine is thought to be effective in the treatment of Tylenol (acetaminophen) poisoning. L-Methionine also supports the metabolic process.
The specific functions are as follows:
- Nourishing the hair, skin, and nails
- Protecting the cells from pollutants
- Facilitating the detoxifying process
- Slowing down the aging process
- Helping with the absorption of other nutrients (such as selenium and zinc)
- Aiding in the excretion of heavy metals (such as lead and mercury) helping the body’s excretion process
- Preventing excess fat buildup in the liver (by acting as a lipotropic agent—one that facilitates the breakdown of fats)
- Lowering cholesterol levels by increasing lecithin production in the liver
Application
Methionine can be used in biochemical research and nutritional supplements, as well as in the auxiliary treatment of pneumonia, cirrhosis and fatty liver. It can be used as a feed additive and food fortifier. It is widely used in medicine, food, feed and cosmetics and other fields.
- In medicine, it can be used as the main component of amino acid infusion and complex amino acids, and can also be used to synthesize medicinal vitamins. Its anti-fatty liver effect can be used to produce hepatoprotective preparations;
- In terms of food, it is used for the amino acid fortification of food and the processing of food health products. It can be used as a nutritional supplement. Because of its special smell, it is only used in fish cake products;
- In the feed industry, methionine is used in large amounts and is used as a nutritional fortifier in feed and a feed additive to compensate for the balance of amino acids.
