SAMe has been used in clinical studies to treat depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, liver disease, dementia, arthritis, and peripheral neuropathy.8 SAMe is an active lipotrope form of Methionine (an amino acid). It is manufactured within the body, but often times deficiencies are present and can be reversed through supplementation.
Each capsule contains:
Suggested use: Adults take one tablet, two times daily between meals.
Other ingredients: Magnesium stearate, cellulose, vegetable stearin, dicalcium phosphate, and silica.
SAMe was found to be helpful in treating most forms of depression during various stages. Several studies have shown that SAMe is more effective in the treatment of depression than traditional pharmaceutical approaches.
Liver Function SAMe improves liver function. SAMe is used in the treatment of cirrhosis and liver damage caused by alcohol. SAMe is necessary for the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from the harmful effects of free radicals.
Arthritis Studies have shown that patients with osteoarthritis benefit in pain relief, and have an increased ability to move around and less stiffness.8
Fibromyalgia SAMe lessens symptoms in fibromyalgia patients. It works as an anti-inflammatory8
Neurological Disorders SAMe aids in the binding of neurotransmitters to their receptor sites in the brain. SAMe is crucial for the regeneration of neuron axons following injury. SAMe has shown great hope in the treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy, and HIV-related Peripheral Neuropathy. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients have been found to have very low levels of SAMe.
