L-Methionine sulfoxide

L-Methionine sulfoxide is an orally active oxidation product of Methionine (HY-N0326) . L-Methionine sulfoxide can be partially converted into Methionine in the body and participate in the synthesis of glutathione in the liver. L-Methionine sulfoxide provides the body with sulfur activity and can participate in the synthesis of proteins and sulfur-containing compounds[1][2].
