L-Methionine
What it is
Methionine is a sulfur-containing essential amino acid found in dietary proteins. It is part of the complete EAA set and may be listed in amino acid mixtures. It is not a member of the branched-chain subgroup.
Why people look for it
Check for methionine when distinguishing a complete amino acid profile from a product supplying only leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
What research generally looks at
Research on complete protein or EAA mixtures should be interpreted at the level of that intervention, rather than assigned to supplemental methionine alone.
Important context
A complete amino acid profile includes methionine; a blend of BCAAs alone does not supply it.
