Description
Functions as a donor of methyl groups in over 100 different reactions catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes, as well as a precursor molecule for glutathione and polyamine synthesis*
Supports positive mood and cognitive function*
-In a meta-analysis involving 25 controlled trials and 791 individuals, SAMe offered statistically significant support for positive mood*
-Promotes healthy protein turnover to support healthy CNS function*
-Maintains healthy phospholipid methylation to support phosphatidylcholine production and cellular membrane integrity and fluidity*
-Supports neurotransmitter monoamine synthesis and function, including dopamine and serotonin, through SAMe-dependent methylation reactions*
Promotes liver function by supporting glutathione production*
-Clinical trials indicate that SAMe administration enhances glutathione production in hepatic tissue and red blood cells*
Enhances joint comfort by supporting proteoglycan synthesis, as well as helping to stabilize and protect proteoglycans*
-In a 16-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 56 subjects, SAMe offered statistically significant support for joint comfort*
Maintains healthy cell growth and cytokine balance by supporting healthy polyamine production*
