If we get that methionine from food instead of supplements, still it would bind with mercury?RRM wrote:Its true, mercury readily binds with methionine.
Of course we should prevent a build up of mercury.
Methionine however, is essential. We need it.
This diet contains relatively little protein, so that we ingest relatively little methionine.
By taking extra methionine, we would only compensate for that lower intake of methionine.
On a normal diet people generally consume at least 100 grams of protein.
By the way, is there a food over-expressed in methionine and phenylalanine? It would be easier.
If in one day, you get more proteins than you need, does the body will stock and use them the next day, if your intake is lower?30 or 40 is very little.
Depending on protein quality, your build, and your activities, it may be enough for some
I checked for some supplements. It's capsule but I don't know if it's liquid or powder inside. You talked about cysteine earlier so as I don't know if it we should take it, too I included it:
L-methionine

L-cysteine (all, except the last, have N-acetyl with it. Is it ok?)
