- All living things contain SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine). The body makes SAM-e from the amino acid methionine. However, you may not be able to obtain sufficient methionine levels simply by ingesting food. In addition, because of age or other factors, levels of SAM-e can fluctuate or decline. Supplementation with SAM-e is the easiest way to increase intake. SAM-e is involved in over 36 biochemical reactions involving enzymatic transmethylation. The methylation process is the mechanism by which the body rids itself of potentially damaging compounds, synthesizes neurotransmitters, makes components of cartilage, regulates enzyme activity within the cell and maintains the flexibility of cell membranes. Science has been looking into this remarkable supplement and time after time clinical studies have drawn the same conclusions. SAM-e promotes healthy joint function and comfort, boosts mood and emotional well-being.

- A note about our enteric coating: SAM-e is enterically coated so that you receive optimal absorption. The enteric coating ensures that the breakdown of SAM-e occurs in the small intestine. Clinical trials indicate that absorption is more efficient in the small intestine rather than in the stomach. In addition, the enteric coating is designed to protect SAM-e from moisture. The lack of an enteric coating should not be harmful to the stomach, and there have been no reported cases to this effect. However, the enteric coating serves as a protective barrier so that SAM-e can be absorbed where it can provide you with the greatest benefits.
- Precautions re: Pregnant or Nursing or Prescription Medications
- Caution: You should consult your physician before using SAM-e if you are taking MAO inhibitors.
Like all supplements, SAM-e is not intended for use by children and you should consult your physician before using SAM-e if you are pregnant or nursing.
