In addition to its role in the synthesis of cysteine, methionine is critical in the synthesis of the methyl donor, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM, SAMe, or AdoMet)
The rationale for combining them is mechanistic complementarity (different signaling pathways, both implicated in tissue repair) and clinical anecdote in the peptide-therapy community not formal head-to-head or combination-vs-monotherapy data
It plays an integral role in the synthesis of energy within cells, creating DNA, and supporting bone density
