description Product Description
S-Methyl-L-cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative widely used in biochemical research as a substrate for methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymes, which play a key role in repairing oxidative damage to proteins. This makes it valuable in studies of cellular redox balance and protein oxidation.
In the field of nutrition and health, it is incorporated into dietary supplements for its potential therapeutic properties, particularly supporting liver health through detoxification processes and protection against toxin-induced damage. It is also researched for its antioxidant effects, which help mitigate oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Additionally, ongoing research explores its role in cancer prevention by potentially inhibiting cancer cell growth via modulation of cellular pathways, as well as its immune-supporting capabilities. Overall, S-Methyl-L-cysteine is a versatile specialty chemical with applications in research, health supplements, and disease prevention studies.
