Essential amino acid: methionine

By Matt | Feb 6, 2008

Methionine is one of the powerful essential amino acids that your body requires to function. It’s a powerful anti-oxidant and is a good source of sulfur. This is important to our bodies as it prevents disorders that can occur in the hair, skin and nails.

Methionine also assists in the breakdown of fats and prevents a buildup in the liver and arteries. These fat deposits that build up can obstruct blood flow to vital body organs and kill you. Methionine also helps detoxify harmful agents found in your blood such as lead and other metals.

Additionally, methionine protects against affects of radiation and is beneficial for females who take oraal contraceptives as it encourages the excretion of estrogen
