Amino Acid - L-Methionine
Your search for L-Methionine is most likely due to its relationship with Creatine - L-Methionine is one of three Amino Acids (the other two being L-Arginine and L-Glycine) required to produce energy-rich Creatine.
L-Methionine was first isolated from Casein (commonly called milk protein, as it accounts for 80% of milk protein, the other 20% being whey) and is synthesised by L-Aspartic Acid and synthesises into L-Cysteine to act on Gluthione (tri-peptide made up the Amino Acids L-Glutamic Acid, L-Cysteine, and L-Glycine) for liver detoxifying. L-Methionine also important for health of hair, nails and skin.
