Home -> Shop By Store -> SAMeSAMeWhat is SAM-e?S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAM or SAM-e; pronounced "sammy") is an amino acid. It is manufactured in the brain from another amino acid, methionine. SAM-e is Helpfull For: SAM-e plays an important role in cartilage formation and repair. SAM-e is an effective treatment for depression, with fewer side effects than antidepressant drugs. SAM-e has been shown to increase the blood levels of proteoglycans - the starting point of cartilage formation. SAM-e is Beneficial For: SAM-e is a stabilized, synthetic form of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a chemical produced naturally in all animals. In the human body SAM is known to be essential to at least 35 biochemical processes, including maintaining the structure of cell membranes and manufacturing substances vital to transmitting nerve impulses and influencing emotions and moods. SAM-e is an effective, indeed magical, treatment for depression, arthritis, and liver disease, among other things. Like other supplements, it is unregulated. Other Information on SAM-e The brain of a healthy person manufactures all the S-Adenosyl Methionine it needs from methionine, but S-Adenosyl Methionine production is impaired in people who are depressed. Supplementation with SAM-e increases levels of serotonin, dopamine and phosphatides, and improves serotonin and dopamine receptor site binding. |
