Used for temporary relief of minor aches, pains, and fever. The methionine component may provide supplemental amino acid support.

Acetaminophen works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system to reduce pain and fever. Racemethionine is an essential amino acid that may support hepatic glutathione production.

Do not exceed recommended dosage as liver damage can occur with excessive acetaminophen intake. Avoid alcohol during treatment. Not recommended for those with phenylketonuria due to potential aspartame content in some formulations. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications.
