What is petameth?
A Prescription medication for liver and related digestive
illnesses.
Generic: L-Methionine
Use: Lipotropic, antiulcer agent and antidote for paracites
A lipotropic nutrient is one that promotes or encourages the
export of fat from the liver. Lipotropics are necessary for the
maintenance of a healthy liver as well as burning the exported fat
for additional energy. Without lipotropics such as choline and
inositol, fats and bile can become trapped in the liver, causing
severe problems such as cirrhosis and blocking fat metabolism.
Choline is essential for fat metabolism. Choline functions as a
methyl donor and it is required for proper liver function. Like
inositol, choline is a lipotropic. Inositol exerts lipotropic
effects as well. An "unofficial" member of the B vitamins, inositol
has even been shown to relieve depression and panic attacks.
Methionine, an essential amino acid, is the major lipotropic
compound in humans. When estrogen levels are high, the body
requires more methionine. Estrogens reduce bile flow through the
liver and increase bile cholesterol levels. Methionine helps
deactivate estrogens.
