Why can I find methionine in the amino acid section if it is important?
That is probably just as well, as one shouldn’t take methionine by itself, as it works best with the other co-factors that we have included in each capsule in the proper amounts. It is assumed, even by a lot of nutritionists, that we get enough methionine in our diets. That is probably true for healthy adults between puberty and about 50 on a good diet, but studies have shown that mature adults need more than they are getting by diet alone. Vegans in particular may need to supplement their diet with methionine, since processed soy-based diets are generally deficient in this essential amino acid. It is also low in plant protein, as is taurine, which is produced by our bodies from methionine as needed.
