Sam-E

SAM-e, or S-adenosyl-methionine, supports the joints, nervous system and liver. This product features an enteric coating that is not dissolved until the SAM-3 reaches the intestines for added stability. SAM-e (S-adenosyl-methionine) has been shown to be efficacious in several health disorders. Although SAM-e, as a methyl donor, participates in a wide variety of biochemical reactions, it can provide important support for the healthy functioning of joints, neurological processes and the liver. SAM-e’s joint support properties lie in its ability to help regulate the body’s normal inflammatory processes, as well as on its putative participation in proteoglycan synthesis and joint cartilage repair. SAM-e is thought to function physiologically as a signal of sulfur availability. Some suggest that supplemental SAM-e may compensate for the decreased SAM-e levels in chondrocytes induced by inflammatory cytokines, and thus upregulate the chondrocyte’s synthesis of joint proteoglycans.
