S - Adenosyl Methionine [SAMe]

SAMe is a natural substance found in every cell of your body. It can be synthesized from the combination of the amino acid L-Methionine, folic acid, vitamin B12, & trimethylglycine provided all the ingredients are present & performing.*

For certain conditions it is useful to supplement SAMe directly rather than to rely on your body's production of it.*

SAMe has been shown to be:

• An excellent mood elevatorproviding significant improvement in research subjects at doses of 800-1600 mg/daily.*
• Helpful with inflammation.*
• Helpful with minor pain & morning stiffness & increased mood.*
• Helps maintain healthy liver function*
• A potent antioxidant.*
• Effective for improving intellectual sluggishness & performance.*
• Helps maintain healthy cognitive function*
• A useful adjunct to L-Dopa.*
• Helps maintain healthy gallbladder function.*

There are numerous mechanisms by which these benefits take place as follows:

• SAMe is the sole methyl donor in many methylation reactions in your nervous system & increases important neurotransmitters in your brain.*
• It is an essential nutrient in the synthesis, activation, & metabolism of glutathione.*
• As a methyl donor, SAMe has lipotropic effects (this means it prevents fatty infiltration of your liver).*
• SAMe regulates the fat & fluid content of your liver cells & improves bile flow*
• It is crucial for the synthesis of RNA, DNA, & phosphatydlcholine which keeps your cell membranes in a youthful state.*
• It contributes to the synthesis of polyamines which regulate protein synthesis.*
• It is involved in manufacturing melatonin.*

Anyone taking SAMe should also be taking pyridoxal-5-phosphate, Folic acid, Methylcobalamin B-12 Sublingual, Vitamin B12 or multi vitamin/mineral.
