Methionine

Methionine is an important amino acid that contains sulfur. As one of the nine most essential amino acids, it is something the human body requires but cannot produce on its own. Along with cysteine, homocysteine, and taurine, it is one of the four sulfur-containing amino acids. The human body does not have the necessary metabolic pathways to synthesize methionine. Hence, it must be supplied to the body through dietary sources or supplements.

There are several important functions that methionine serves in the human body, including:

• Contributes to the production of critical hormones and proteins, including L-cysteine, adrenaline, carnitine, choline, and melatonin.
• Increases the liver’s production of lecithin, which lowers serum cholesterol.
• Helps develop nails and promotes hair growth by supplying sulfur.
• Contains chelating agents that help remove heavy metals like mercury.
• Inhibits the effects of hepatotoxins, such as acetaminophen, on the liver.

Choline

Choline is a vital nutrient that plays a vital role in several metabolic pathways in the human body. Although the liver produces choline endogenously, it is still regarded as an essential nutrient since the quantities produced are not adequate enough to meet the body’s metabolic requirements. Hence, choline supplementation through diet is necessary. Choline is present in both animal and plant food sources, with animal sources containing more choline per gram of food product.

Some functions that choline serves inside of the body include:

• Assuring cell membrane integrity with sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine.
• The modulation of gene expression and the signaling process within the cell membrane.
• Production of acetylcholine, which is one of the major neurotransmitters in the body.
• Early brain development in fetuses.

Cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin, also known as vitamin B12, gets its name from the presence of a cyanide group in its molecule and the mineral cobalt. As a water-soluble vitamin, it is crucial for energy production and DNA synthesis. The body cannot produce it, so it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Foods such as meat, fish, milk, eggs, and cheese are good sources of this vitamin. Cyanocobalamin plays several vital roles in the body, including:

• Cofactor for methionine synthase and L-methymalonyl-CoA mutase.
• Synthesis of methionine from homocysteine.
• Regeneration of tetrahydrofolate from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate.
