N-Acetyl-DL-Methionine

N-Acetyl-DL-methionine is the N-acetylated derivative of DL-methionine, the racemic mixture of the D- and L- forms of methionine, a sulfur-containing essential amino acid. Acetylation of the amino group gives a more stable, less odorous compound than free methionine. Nustras supplies it as a white crystalline, vegan powder, used as a methionine source in supplements, specialised nutrition and animal nutrition.

It is formulated into amino acid supplements, capsules and tablets, specialised nutrition formulas, sports-nutrition blends, and feed additives and premixes where a stabilised methionine source is specified. Its lower odour and good solubility suit it to liquid and powdered nutrition products.

The material is a white crystalline powder (CAS 1115-47-5, C7H13NO3S, molecular weight 191.25). Assay is standardised to specification and confirmed by titration or HPLC on each lot, with identity confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies N-acetyl-DL-methionine in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine is an accepted nutrient source in several major supplement and feed markets; buyers confirm the permitted level, grade and claim for their application.
