S-Adenosylmethionine or SAMe is a naturally occurring compound found in the human body as well as in plant and animal foods. It is made from the amino acid methionine and is involved in many critical processes throughout the body.

SAMe plays a role in supporting the immune system and maintaining cell membranes, the protective barrier that surrounds all cells. It also helps to produce brain chemicals such as melatonin– the hormone that helps with your body’s sleep cycle, and serotonin – the hormone that affects your mood. SAMe is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, the hormone melatonin, phospholipids, and polyamines, which control cellular growth. It is also the source of methyl groups inside the nucleus for DNA methylation, which controls gene expression and masking of genetic damage.

Benefits of SAMe

• Brain and mood support – helps produce brain neurotransmitters. It has been found that proper levels of SAMe are necessary to maintain healthy mood and brain function.
• Liver support – protects from effects of alcohol and certain medications (i.e., acetaminophen), and supports detoxification (the removal of toxic substances from the body)
• Joint support - helpful in supporting the health of cartilage in joints, and in managing the body’s natural inflammatory response
