Low Methionine Recipes – Starve your Cancer

What is methionine?

Methionine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When we think of protein, we usually think of animal protein such as meat; however most foods contain varying amounts of protein and therefore, amino acids. Our digestive system must break protein down in order to utilise the amino acids. These amino acids are then absorbed into the bloodstream and go to our cells where they supply the nutrient.

Methionine is just one of the amino acids that make up protein. Methionine is a building block of protein that is necessary for cell growth.

There has been much research however, into how methionine can fuel the growth of cancer cells, therefore restricting methionine may help. Enjoy our recipes below and/or book a care consult to establish a personalised cancer care diet to supplement your cancer treatment plan.
