SAMe is a supplement formed
in the body by an enzymatic reaction between adenosine-triphosphate
(ATP) and methionine. It was discovered in 1952 in Italy and has been
researched and manufactured there. SAMe works closely with folic acid
and vitamin B-12 and functions as a methyl donor. This nutrient carries
and donates methyl molecules necessary to facilitate the manufacture of
DNA and brain neurotransmitters.* Tissue levels of SAMe are typically
low in the elderly.
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
temporarily alleviate minor joint discomfort resulting from overexertion
or stress. In addition, because SAMe is also necessary for the
synthesis of neurotransmitters, it plays an important role in mood
support. SAMe is enteric-coated, which makes it very well tolerated and
protects it from degradation.*
