Article navigation
Methionine's benefits include:
- Methionine helps to break down fats
Methionine plays a significant role in breaking down fats in the body and eliminating them through the liver. This means that methionine can prevent a build-up of fatty plaque in major arteries (this is a big risk factor for heart disease and stroke) and it also prevents fatty liver, a condition where fat accumulates around the liver, preventing it from working effectively and allowing more toxins to accumulate in the body because they cannot be detoxified by the liver. - Methionine ensures the digestive system is healthy
Methionine is useful in ensuring the digestive system (from the mouth the the excretory organs) is healthy and functioning correctly.

- Methionine helps to detoxify the liver
Methionine is the key detoxifier of the liver. Methionine helps the liver in its detoxification duties by protecting it from the damaging effects of toxic substances it detoxifies and promotes their safe elimination from the body. In this way, methionine helps the liver to detoxify the body from heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury. - Methionine helps to excrete excess oestrogen
Methionine helps the liver to excrete any excess oestrogen that may be circulating in the bloodstream. This may be beneficial for women with menopause and PMS, as well as women in general, as cancers of the female reproductive system have a dependency on excessive oestrogen levels to propagate.
