SAMe
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 |
- How it works: SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a compound native to the body, is a critical component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. Numerous studies have indicated that SAMe can help to alleviate transient normal aches and pains resulting from overexertion or stress. In addition, because SAMe is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, it plays an important role in the maintenance of a positive mood.
|
| Precautions |
- Cautions/Interactions: Theoretically, SAMe could increase the effects and adverse effects of products that increase serotonin levels, including 5-hydroxytryptophan (5- HTP), Hawaiian baby woodrose, L-tryptophan, and St. John's wort. In addition, SAMe may interact with MAO inhibitors, L-Dopa, antidepressants and other serotonergic drugs. Consult healthcare practitioner if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, especially bipolar or anxiety disorders.
