S-Adenosylmethionine
S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM-e or SAMe) is a compound that is found naturally in the body and is involved in various processes, including the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the metabolism of hormones. SAM-e has been studied as a potential treatment for a variety of health conditions, including depression, osteoarthritis, and liver disease. As a dietary supplement, it is most often used for improving symptoms of depression and for osteoarthritis. In regard to depression, research suggests that SAM-e may be more effective than placebo in reducing the severity of depression and may be as effective as certain antidepressants for some individuals. However, more research is needed. Similarly, for osteoarthritis, some studies show that it is as effective in reducing symptoms for some individuals as NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen). There are a variety of different forms of SAM-e supplements available on the market, typically different salt forms (e.g., sulfate, sulfate-p-toluenesulfonate, and butanedisulfonate), which may affect how well it is absorbed.

| Formula |
- All living things contain SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine). The body makes SAM-e from the amino acid methionine. However, you may not be able to obtain sufficient methionine levels simply by ingesting food. In addition, because of age of other factors, levels of SAM-e can fluctuate or decline. Supplementation with SAM-e is the easiest way to increase intake. SAM-e is involved in over 35 biochemical reactions involving enzymatic transmethylation. The methylation process is the mechanism by which the body rids itself of potentially damaging compounds, synthesizes neurotransmitters, makes components of cartilage, regulates enzyme activity within the cell and maintains the flexibility of cell membranes. Science has been looking into this remarkable supplement nd time after time clinical studies have drawn the same conclusions, SAM-e: Promotes healthy joint function and comfort - Boosts mood and emotional well-being. SAM-e is a revolutionary supplement. Because of its popularity and use, it has received widespread exposure in the press. Information has appeared in newspapers, magazine, on the internet, or simply through word of mouth. Whether you're a first time SAM-e user, or have been a fan for years, you probably have some questions. Please see enclosed insert for more information. A note about our enteric coating: SAM-e is enterically coated sot hat you receive optimal absorption. The enteric coating ensures that the breakdown of SAM-e occurs in the small intestine. Clinical trials indicate that absorption is more efficient in the small intestine rather than in the stomach. In addition, the enteric coating is designed to protect SAM-e from moisture. The lack of an enteric coating should not be harmful to the stomach, and there have been no reported cases tot his effect. However, the enteric coating serves as a protective barrier so that SAM-e can be absorbed where it can provide you with the greatest benefits.
