Methionine (abbreviated as Met or M; encoded by the codon AUG) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It is essential in humans, meaning the body cannot synthesize it and thus it must be obtained from the diet.
D-methionine protects against radiation-induced oral mucositis, cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and other cisplatin side effects, aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss, and noise-induced hearing loss. We have completed successful small scale Phase 2 clinical trials for radiation-induced oral mucositis and cisplatin-induced hearing loss which have shown significant protection with oral D-met administration.
D-met also provides partial protection from aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss with no antimicrobial interference in animal studies. D-met protects against noise-induced hearing loss if given before, during or even when first started up to 7 hours after noise-cessation. It also protects if only given prior to the noise, even if stopped one day prior to the noise exposure. Source
Can be used as a pendant on a necklace, keychain, earring, or whatever you find it useful for.
Note: the material "(Polished) Strong & Flexible Plastic“ is not recommended for keychains! It’s great for earrings though!
