DL-methionine

DL-Methionine aids in the body’s detoxification process. DL-Methionine especially benefits those suffering from arthritis, fibromyalgia and depression – a condition that is often accompanies chronic pain conditions. This essential amino acid has been used to reduce the toxic effects of radiation and it improves healing from surgery and other wounds. Methionine is well absorbed in the brain where it is converted into S-adenosylMethionine (SAM-e), which may increase catecholamines in the brain. A recently released Evidence Report Summary evaluates the efficacy of the SAM-e compared to traditional prescription drugs for the treatment of depression, osteoarthritis, and some liver conditions.
