L-Methionine

Swanson L-Methionine features one of the nine essential amino acids with many important functions in the body. As a lipotropic agent, it plays a fundamental role in healthy liver function, helping this vital organ process fats efficiently. In addition, L-methionine exhibits antioxidant activity, protecting the liver and other tissues throughout the body against free-radicals.

Additionally, methionine is one of the three foundational amino acids—along with glycine and arginine—that the body uses to manufacture creatine, which in turn supports muscle growth and protein synthesis, and enhances energy production and cognitive function. Supplementing with methionine helps supply your body with the materials it needs to promote creatine production.
