Today all who heard about the most known and vitamins necessary to a human body, unfortunately, can not know anything about such vitamin as methylmethionine. The problem is that most of biochemists do not carry it to group of vitamins, and consider the representative of chemical compounds which have only pseudo-vitamin properties, but by the nature those are not. Recently scientists argue the point of view according to which this means — really unique type of vitamins, and in the countries of Europe and the United States of America it is separate pharmacological medicine or biological additive for a long time, and is even accepted by women in situation for pregnancy simplification.
Action in an organism
To understand, this element is how useful and whether it is vitamin on the properties, we will consider functions which are performed by compound of methyl, methionine and a sulfoniya:
- blocks and destroys alien elements, dangerous to activity of an organism;
- has ability to heal wounds, erosion, ulcers formed on digestive tract walls;
- regulates the level of concentration of hydrochloric acid in a stomach (at hyper secretion — reduces acidity degree, in the return case — increases);
- treats inflammatory processes of integuments, restores structure of epidermis at eczemas, burns, ulcers and the suppurating wounds;
- neutralizes properties of a histamine — the main mediator of allergic reactions of immediate type (antihistaminic property);
Important! The histamine provokes diarrhea and nausea at food poisonings, suffocation attacks at bronchial asthma, dacryagogue and cold at a pollinoza (seasonal rinokonjyunktivit).
- improves exchange of fats and controls cholesterol level in blood;
- prevents impassability of vessels of heart, brain, aorta (anti-atherosclerotic influence);
- interferes with replacement of cellular fabric with fats;
- soothingly affects nervous system;
- has antioxidant properties;
- promotes production of collagen;
- removes toxicosis symptoms;
- prevents development of inflammatory processes of an urinogenital system.
The primary source for formation of this element is one of irreplaceable amino acids (methionine). For this reason it is called still by S-metilmetioninom, or a metiosulfoniya chloride (not less often so-called vitamin is designated by letter Yu or U).
So-called N, F, P vitamins are also considered as the substances which are not vitamins.
This element can be as in a natural look (crude vegetables), and in synthesized (the poroshkopodobny substance of a yellow-white shade having a sour smell). Vitamin is well soluble in water, and the possible surplus is safely and quickly removed by means of hard work of kidneys that prevents gipervitaminoz.
Whether you know? For the first time vitamin U was found by the American microbiologist in 1949 at a cabbage juice research. It was noticed later that the wounds which are available for patients with a gastric ulcer after consumption of crude vegetables began to heal. The element was called vitamin U because in translation from Latin of ulceris ulcer means.
Sources where contains
It is quite deservedly possible to call methylmethionine more natural, than an artificial element as its main quantity is in products of plant origin. Juice is fresher than crude cabbage where the highest level of concentration of vitamin U contains, not the first year is known for the efficiency in fight against stomach ulcers. Not much more the smaller amount of nutrient is in turnip (the representative of family Cabbage), and quite decent digital indicators of availability of vitamin have the following products:
- greens of parsley and spinach;
- such vegetable cultures as young onions and celery;
- root crops of carrots and beet,
- stalks of the relative of onions are asparaguses, or an asparagus;
- tomatoes and paprika;
- potatoes in the raw;
- bananas.
Important! The artificial (synthesized) analog of vitamin U is appointed as supporting complex therapy at treatment of stomach ulcer of digestive tract.
In animal products of methylmethionine it is not enough, but all the same at impossibility to get the main sources and to fill vitamin U reserves, it is possible to eat crude eggs (only yolks) and to drink fresh milk. It is no secret, that at heat treatment of products a part of useful substances which stayed in them before is lost. Nevertheless, when cooking any representatives from a number of vegetables, the safety of vitamin U suffers only for 4%, and in boiled beet it remains best of all and is almost not lost. As for preparation time, the product more cooks, the less in it remains elements, important for an organism.
Daily requirement
Some people who are regularly using vegetables do not even guess that one more useful substance comes to their organism. Just because today this connection is public, to calculate exact standard daily rate for the use is almost impossible. On average it can be from 100 to 300 mg. To people with the available indications to use of vitamin, especially if the increased level of acidity of a stomach is observed and the GIT functions are broken, it is necessary to use from 200 to 400 mg of this element.
Whether you know? Metilmetionin is famous for the unique antitoxic properties: at smokers and people abusing alcohol a reserve of this vitamin very scanty. For this reason at such contingent ulcers and erosion of digestive tract as there is no enough vitamin B an organism are very often observed, and the person continues to poison himself.
Unlike methionine, vitamin U is not irreplaceable or strictly necessary for a human body. The properties inherent in this element, at its absence can carry out other vitamins, except healing of ulcers. It is one more of the reasons why many do not know what vitamin Yu as it was not entered in the list of necessary low-molecular organic compounds is. If to speak about interaction of methylmethionine with medicamentous means in the course of treatment, then it is absolutely independent substance in the course of assimilation by a human body. The main condition for its full influence on the system of activity is acidic environment of digestive system.

Indications to application
Usually this vitamin registers doctors together with the main medical therapy as supportive application at emergence of the following deteriorations in activity:
- heartburn (the strong burning mainly in the top area of a throat arising because of emission of gastric juice in a gullet);
- eructation of a sour or bitter smell and taste (an exit of gases or food in a digestive tract);
- weight in digestive organs even after insignificant meal;
- diarrhea;
- locks, difficult chair;
- gastritis;
- sores, erosion in digestive organs;
- badly healing wounds on integuments;
- burns;
- dermatitis.
Important! Normal level of concentration of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice is measured in conventional units of activity of ions of hydrogen — pH. The indicator of the maximum acidity — 1 rn, and in digestive bodies testifies to the most alkaline environment mark 14 rn. Neutral level fluctuates within 7-8 rn: it is the most suitable indicator of balance of acid and alkali. But it should be taken into account that in different parts of a digestive tract this indicator at a research can differ.
The main indications to use of the main anti-ulcer medicine is the following:
- chronic form of hepatitis;
- cholelithiasis;
- reflux-ezofagit;
- destructive processes in a liver (cirrhosis);
- atherosclerosis of vessels;
- neurosises, mental disorders;
- drug addiction, nicotine addiction, alcoholism;
- stomach ulcer, colitis.
We advise to esteem about value of vitamins for human health: vitamins A, group B (B1, B2, V5, V7), E (for hair, the person, female health), D.
Not only diseases and other troubles are the main indications to application of this magic element. Thanks to the impact on skin, vitamin U it is used in the cosmetology purposes and is a part of quality creams and masks for a body, a face and hands. He increases elasticity of skin, removes reddenings, levels tone and a surface of an integument, resupplies moisture and oxygen in cages, does imperceptible visible capillaries on a face earlier.
Also methylmethionine has antioxidant properties and takes active participation in lipidic exchange that goes on a hand to the athletes watching the form.
Many underestimate importance of vitamin U for an organism, do not learn about problems which he will help to solve, its basic purpose yet — healing of mucous membranes not only internals, but also epidermis of the person.
Important! One of the main reasons for development in a gastritis organism and also stomach ulcer of a GIT, is insufficiency of S-metilmetionina.
Nevertheless, nutrient is contraindicated to the people having viral hepatitis, a sharp form of a renal or liver failure and, naturally, children before achievement of semi-annual age by them. Numerous researches show that ensuring standard daily rate of the consumption of crude vegetables, we reduce risk of U-insufficiency and also consequences in the form of the above-stated diseases almost by 5 times.
