L-Methionine

L-Methionine is an essential amino acid containing sulfur, which is crucial for human health. It plays a vital role in protein synthesis, antioxidant activity, liver detoxification, and immune function. L-Methionine is also a precursor for the synthesis of other sulfur-containing amino acids, such as cysteine and taurine, and is involved in various biochemical reactions, including methylation processes, which are essential for maintaining normal cellular function and structure.
