S-Adenosyl L-Methionine
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.

- SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine) is a derivative of the essential amino acid methionine and is formed by combining ATP with methionine.
- SAMe has a long history of clinical use with proven benefits for brain metabolism, joint function, and liver detoxification. Some of the reported beneficial actions of SAMe include:
Joint and connective tissue strength SAMe supports production of healthy connective tissue and joint structures by contributing its sulfur component for transulfuration processes that help form glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates, critical components of connective tissues.
Brain metabolism SAMe serves as a major source of methyl groups used by the brain in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, L-dopa, dopamine, and related hormones involved in mood regulation.
Liver function Metabolism of SAMe supports synthesis of glutathione and glutathione-dependant enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are important antioxidants used in liver detoxification processes.
