This compound is prescribed by alternative medical practitioners to boost protein levels for vegetarians and vegans who may not ingest enough in their normal diets. It is beneficial for those who metabolize large quantities of proteins, such as athletes, and is often recommended as a protein replacement for people who are considered heavy drinkers. Patients suffering from adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may consider taking this supplement for chelation; and those with fibromyalgia might take it to help their muscles work properly.<br /><br />In addition, this substance works to reduce histamine levels in the body to allow the nerves to work properly and to assist with memory. Histamines act as neurotransmitters, so problems with histamine levels can affect how the nerves work throughout the body. They can cause allergic reactions and dilate blood vessels, affecting the way the brain sends and receives messages. As a result, methionine supplements are sometimes given to those with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Methionine is particularly meaningful as it: 1) has anti-inflammatory properties; 2) alleviates pain and stimulates the formation of cartilage tissue; 3) strengthen the structure of hair and nails and combats hair loss; 4) improves sleep, mood, and physical performance. It is commonly used for fat metabolization, better digestion; yet, the anti-oxidizing properties make this a multi-faceted and therefore, highly valuable compound. The recommended dosages are 12 mg per kilgram of body weight.<br />I take methionine before workouts and immediately noticed a tremendous difference!<br />Essentially, methionine assists in the breakdown and use of fats, which in turn yields a higher testosterone rate (when combined with zinc, which is how ZMA works). Therefore, in addition to taking methionine before workouts, I would also recommend ZMA at night for yielding optimal results.<br />Methionine eliminates excess fat from the bloodstream, resulting in less potential adipose (fat) tissue. It is key in digestion and the removal of heavy metals from the stomach and liver. It is a good anti-oxidant because it readily supplies sulfur, inactivates free radicals and helps with memory recall. precursor to cysteine, which makes glutathione to detoxify the liver. Methionine manufactures creatine monohydrate for energy production and muscle growth. Overdosing is rare and only occurs with their is a shortage of B vitamins. Methionine has also been administered for medical purposes for the following: depression, arthritis, liver disease.<br />I take several BulkSupplements products and have found them to be of the upmost quality. I highly recommend this brand.

Methionine is important for anyone who possibly has one of the several common MTHFR genetic mutations (upwards of 60% of the population). Most people are never diagnose with an MTHFR genetic mutation until there are a series of unexplained miscarriages. This is because those with MTHFR mutations are prone to develop clots (and much worse), the clots can affect the placenta denying the fetus an adequate blood supply.<br /><br />Anyone who is a potential MTHFR mutation needs the methyl donors and lack the ability to use certain forms of B vitamins efficiently to convert the amino acid homocysteine back into methionine. Of course homocysteine causes blood vessel damage contributing to inflammation and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) so it's vital to get enough Vitamin B12 to convert homocysteine back to methionine. Methionine itself is vital within the methylation cycle particularly because it is converted to the very beneficial SAMe. Google these terms, get to know them better, and if you fit the description then an order of methionine might to be something to consider.

For a Few people out there this will do a lot of good. It is one of the "heavy hitter" amino acids, just like Glycine and L-Tryptophan. It could change your life, so, if you like supplements, you should try a little bit for a while. See what good it does you.<br /><br />Start with small does, about an 1/8 teaspoon or 250mg every few hours. When you get used to it, go to 1/4 teaspoon or 500mg every 2 hours or so. This will eventually clear up you body chemistry. I believe it can clear up you metabolism to some degree, for some people. Your cellular ATP cycle could work better, I think. You don't have to take it forever. Just two or three months or so until it clears up your body chemistry. That's been my experience with amino acids. Amino acids are often the precursor to something very important that your body needs to work right really bad. Methionine is a necessary nutrient, sometimes the body can't make enough of it it right, so, it needs help.<br /><br />I fixed a major digestive problem and panic attacks with this stuff. Permanent fix. Best $20 I ever spent in my life.

First of all, let's take a moment and wait for all the amazing, well meaning hippies and planet earth enthusiasts to leave this review section. Go on, I'll wait tilI I hear your birkenstocks clop clop clop down the hallway before I begin. Heaven forbid anyone of them buy a product that isn't made from 100% organic and blessed by New Zealand made vegetarian duck farts. Yes this product comes from China, so by default everything is evil and cruel in the world and toxic and we're going to give ourselves cancer because it's not double certified and and kosher blessed by a rabbi's fart to boot. Wanting to use this product wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the logic in seeing 10K plus positive reviews stating how these products have helped people (rolls eyes).<br /><br />Now that it's just you and I, I'll continue. I'm here because I was searching for amino acids to buy in bulk without fillers. I wanted something priced fair and pure. After all my searching, Bulk Supplements had the ideal products. The only thing that was left for me to do was scan through all the reviews to see if such products would help me. I have a connective tissue disorder so I made it a point to buy all the aminos that had an effect in regards to tissues of the body. I also bought Glutamine as I read that helped people with their SEVERE bread/wheat/carbohydrate cravings as I have severe bread cravings for that and dairy. I work out often and can never lost the extra 25 pounds because of my food addiction to wheat and dairy. After one day I felt a difference so noticeable I logged in and bought the other remaining 4 amino Acids I needed but did not buy before do to not wanting to spend so much. But since they work and it seems most of these will last 6 months to a year, I opened the floodgates and bought everyone that was unique to me. I ended up buying about 8 products on my first purchase 6 weeks ago.<br /><br />Coming from someone who has tried adding coconut oil, vitamins, probiotics, nothing ever seemed to make much of a difference. It wasn't until I started taking amino acids that everything moved forward for me in my health goals. THIS......STUFF.......WORKS! I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm seeing progress in my energy and health. I want to add that I also bought the Potassium citrate. I can't EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW MUCH THAT ALSO HELPED ME! I work out every other day and I use the sauna for about 40 minutes. In conjunction with taking aminos and now getting about 5K (4700 the average, but I workout hard) mg of potassium citrate, I'm feeling so much better! Even in my workouts I had to increase the weight by about 20 percent on the machines I use, and I even had to add more reps onto my sets! My original workout felt like I never even worked out since taking these products! Now even with added weight and reps onto my workout regimen, I still feel like I didn't quite workout enough! But I keep my increases minimal as I don't want to go ahead to much. But I can't flipping believe how much these products have boosted what I can do in the weight room AND not feel like a gassed race horse when I'm done. This stuff is literally the MAGIC powder. And with how its helping me with regular health outside of working out and also keeping me from falling off on binge eating on pizza and ice cream, this stuff is it. I'll always be a consumer of these products.<br /><br />Since I already ordered 3 times from this company (LOL) in the last 6 weeks, I got three free sample products to try that I WOULD NOT NORMALLY BUY! But since they also helped, I ended up adding them onto my next order! And to those people that complained about getting the free samples being just a marketing ploy and other nonsense, BUGGER OFF! There are products I wouldn't have bothered to try but since I got to try them for free and I liked them, I added them onto my next purchase. Because they worked for ME. You're getting a product that could very well last for a month and free shipping, all you have to do is leave a review if you like it or not. Yes, what a scam bulk supplements is running (rolls eyes).<br /><br />As of now there are two other products I plan on ordering from them, the Melatonin and the BCAA 3-1-2 product. Again, I'm only doing this because of how much positive gains I'm seeing in my health and workout. Another bonus was I could never eat enough meat, I was always hungry for tuna, turkey, beef, I could never get enough and my grocery bill was always high. Now I can eat a normal serving of meat and I feel like I don't need anymore thanks to taking the Acetylcarnitine and the Creatine, components that are found in muscle tissue.<br /><br />How I take my supplements is as follows- I take one serving size amount of each one in the morning. Then in the evening I take one serving size of only the msm, ascorbic acid, acetyl carnitine, Arginine, L-Glutamine, D-Ribose, potassium citrate. I take this because of budget, I want what I have to last longer, but these products are most important in keeping my cravings at bay so I take them once more at night. You can take some of these 3 times a day it says, but I only do them all once, and what I just listed twice. If I was rich and could afford $300 in supplements every 2-3 months I'd take them 3 times day. But since I'm not I make them last :)<br /><br />In summary, what I take is what I feel my body needs. And I am 100% happy with the effects I have experienced. And as for odors like some people described when they open their packages, well.........Some of these are chemicals, aren't they? MSM will smell like a sulphur like smell, correct? Unless you want added scents to mask things (which I don't) I honestly have not had a problem with that. And for the foil cosing bag, what I did was go to Walmart and buy a package of the large sized mason jars and I use those to hold my amino's in. I can't see knocking off a star because of the foil bag seal. Just pour it in a wide mouth mason jar and get a measure spoon to dish it out.<br /><br />If you're wondering what products I've used with this company, if you're reading this review then this is the product I purchased and have in my pantry. I'm not rewriting a review for each item, so I am copying and pasting a review to use on every item I bought from them. Any other questions please ask, but I find that as a person with health issues and food issues these items have helped me beyond anything else I've ever tried.<br />Why no voting buttons?

We use this for our cat. She suffers from urinary crystals -- Methionine acidifies the urine and breaks down the crystals. Products from the vet cost many times more for gels or tablets filled with other ingredients and fillers. This is pure and high quality, we mix a small amount (1/8-1/4 tsp) in with her food daily.<br /><br />The quality of the product has always been excellent.
