Mechanism of action

METIONIN is an essential amino acid necessary to maintain the growth and nitrogen balance of the body. It contains a methyl group that is involved in the process of peremetilirovaniya and is necessary for the synthesis of choline. Due to this, it normalizes the synthesis of phospholipids from fats and reduces the deposition of neutral fat in the liver.

Participates in the exchange of sulfur-containing amino acids, in the synthesis of epinephrine, creatinine and other biologically active substances, activates the action of hormones, Vitamins (B₁₂, ascorbic, folic acids), enzymes, proteins, peremetilirovaniya, deamination, decarboxylation reactions. Required for detoxification of xenobiotics.

When atherosclerosis reduces the concentration of cholesterol and increases the concentration of blood phospholipids.
