Description

D-methionine is a form of the amino acid methionine that is synthesized in plants. It has been studied for its potential to help with various metabolic disorders, including osteoarthritis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. D-methionine provides methionine to the body, which is essential for the formation of collagen and elastin. In addition, it has been shown to have a protective effect against neuronal death in a model system. D-methionine may be beneficial for people with liver disease, but more research is needed.
