DL-Methionine and detox

[cv1]

DL-Methionine is reported to have benefit in treating arthritis, fibromyalgia and depression - a condition that is often accompanies chronic pain conditions.
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.
DL-Methionine is an essential amino acid that aids in the body's
detoxification process. Diets deficient in this essential amino acid may result in a destructive breakdown and metabolism of protein. Signs of deficiency include apathy, edema, lethargy, liver damage, muscle and/or fat loss and weakness. This essential amino acid has been used to reduce the toxic effects of radiation and it improves healing from surgery and other wounds. There are no known cautions or interactions associated with taking methionine.
Amino acids promote the production of various neurotransmitters and enzymes critically needed in brain metabolism. Amino acids allow smooth, balanced cognition and fluid transition from thought to disciplined action. Aid in the reduction of stress, frustration and cognitive overload. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein in the body, they are essential for the synthesis of structural protein, enzymes and some hormones and neurotransmitters. Amino acids also affect exercise metabolisms.
Below are some of the major functions amino acids are involved in;
_ They empower vitamins and minerals to do their specific jobs correctly.
_ Some amino acids can pass through the blood-brain barrier which exists to maintain the health of the brain, the brain’s chemistry and its processes.
_ Act as neurotransmitters or precursors; some are needed to send and receive messages.
_ Aid in communication with nerve cells in other parts of the body.
Foods high in protein, such as meat and poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products, are the richest dietary sources of the essential amino acids.
