Rich sources of L-methionine include cheeses, eggs, fish, meat and poultry.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eL-methionine is also found in fruits and vegetables, but not as abundantly.

In addition to its role as a precursor in protein synthesis, L-methionine \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eparticipates in a wide range of biochemical reactions, including the production of \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eS-adenosylmethionine (SAM or SAMe), L-cysteine, glutathione, taurine and sulfate. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eVitamin B-6 or pyridoxine is added to this formulation as it is an essential cofactor in \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ethe metabolism of amino acids. It is also involved in carbohydrate and lipid \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003emetabolism. In the body, pyridoxine is converted to coenzymes pyridoxal phosphate \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eand pyridoxamine phosphate, in a wide variety of metabolic reactions.
