Description and Uses

DL-Methionine methylsulfonium chloride, also named Vitamin U, is a powerful antioxidant. It is a sulfur derivative substance. Graviola leaves contain much vitamin U[1]. Vitamin U have unique antioxidant effect. It could prevents Galactosamine-induced gastric damage and protects pentylenetetrazole-induced brain damage in rats[2-3].

Vitamin U (DL-methionine methylsulfonium chloride) is a natural methionine-derivative, found as an active component in the methionine cycle of plants where it serves as a substrate for methyl transferases (Augspurger et al., 2005). Historically this compound has been utilized as either a cure or preventative against gastric and duodenal ulcers (Nakamura et al., 1981).
