Methionine
I'll
no doubt refer to the subject again when we discuss ZMA in a future article,
but methionine assists in the breakdown and use of fats, which in turn yields
a higher testosterone rate.
Together
with zinc, that's how ZMA does its thing. It also eliminates excess fat from
the bloodstream, resulting in less potential adipose (fat) tissue. It is key
in digestion and the removal of heavy metals from the stomach and liver. It is
a good anti-oxidant because it readily supplies sulfur, inactivates free
radicals and helps with memory recall.
It
is a precursor to cysteine, which is the amino that produces glutathione to
detoxify the liver. It's also one of the three aminos that are needed to
manufacture creatine monohydrate within the body, an essential compound for
energy production and muscle growth.
Use
To Bodybuilders Fat
metabolization, better digestion and anti-oxidizing properties make this a
valuable compound.
Dosage
12 mg per kilo of
bodyweight. If you think it may be a good idea to supplement this, you may as
well invest in some ZMA. The supplement is cost-effective and yields higher
results than just Methionine.
Overdosing
None, except in case of a
shortage of B-Vitamins, in which case you are an easy target for
arteriosclerosis.
Medical
Uses Used
to treat depression, arthritis and liver disease.
Sources
Meat, fish, beans, eggs,
garlic, lentils, onions, yogurt and seeds.
Deficiency Causes dementia, fatty liver, slow growth,
weakness, skin lesions and edema.
