L-Methionine supplements made by Vitamin World are touted as a lipotropic agent, which means that taking these supplements should encourage the export of fats from the liver. L-Methionine supplementation is often recommended for the body-building community due to the fact that L-Methionine is essential in creating Creatine, a nutrient found in muscle tissue. L-Methionine is one of the essential Amino Acids that our bodies need and must be supplied in the diet. It is a sulfur-containing Amino Acid that acts as a powerful antioxidant to combat free radicals. Vitamin World's L-Methionine tablets do not contain Gelatin and are therefore safe for vegetarians. In fact, L-Methionine is especially recommended for individuals living a vegetarian lifestyle since the majority of this Amino Acid is found in food sources such as eggs, dairy, poultry, fish and meat. Tablets are sodium-free and do not contain preservatives or added artificial flavors or colors. They are also free from sugar, milk, lactose, soy, gluten, wheat, yeast, and fish.
