Google the name ketosteril and you can buy it on Amazon. I think it's listed under the generic name methionine but just google it to be sure, and yes I'm in the United States. {affiliate link added}

@Moody,

From what I could gather, the generic name of Ketosteril is listed as "Ketoanalogues & essential amino acids". More specifically, each coated-tablet reportedly contains the following set of ingredients:

(RS)-3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid (α-ketoanalogue to DL-isoleucine), calcium-salt 67 mg + 4-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid (α-ketoanalogue to leucine), calcium-salt 101 mg + 2-oxo-3-phenylpropionic acid (α-ketoanalogue to phenylalanine), calcium-salt 68 mg + 3-methyl-2-oxobutyric acid (α-ketoanalogue to valine), calcium salt 86 mg + (RS)-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio-butyric acid (α-hydroxyanalogue to DL-methionine), calcium-salt 59 mg + L-lysine acetate 105 mg + L-threonine 53 mg + L-tryptophan 23 mg + L-histidine 38 mg + L-tyrosine 30 mg + Nitrogen 36 mg + Calcium 50 mg

NOTE: the "+" symbols separate each ingredient

As far as it's availability in the US is concerned, this is something you may need to discuss with your doctor since it does reportedly require a prescription. However in the event that typical pharmacies don't carry it, you could also consider looking into "compounding" pharmacies as long as you have your doctor's prescription and the list of ingredients on hand.

I hope this helps!
