About amino acids and methionine
Amino acids are a group of crystalline, water-soluble substances that are characterized by containing at least one amino group (an organic nitrogen-containing compound) and at least one carboxylic acid group (a slightly acid, carbonic compound). Some amino acids are building blocks of proteins.
Approximately 20 different amino acids are included biologically in the human body. Eight out of the 20 are essential, which means they are needed by the body but we are unable to synthesize them and therefore must get them from our diet. Methionine is a sulfur-containing essential amino acid.
