SAMe (S-adenosyl-methionine) is an amino acid derivative normally synthesized in the body. It is widely used in Europe as an antidepressant. SAMe is used by the body in three important pathways: methylation (contributing methyl groups to activate certain molecules); the synthesis of polyamines (for cell growth, gene expression, neuronal regeneration, etc.); and trans-sulfuration (synthesis of cysteine, glutathione and other sulfate chemicals). In young, healthy people SAMe is well distributed throughout the body as a result of its synthesis from methionine by enzymes using ATP. However, in sickness and in age, system levels may become depleted. Supplementation of the cofactors folate, TMG, vitamins B6 and B12, together with SAMe appears to be an effective method to overcome this deficiency.

There is evidence that SAMe may:

be the fastest acting, safest and most effective antidepressant available.

help prevent and reverse liver disease.

be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and osteoarthritis.

help to synthesize phosphatidylcholine, which keeps cell membranes fluid and is used in the brain to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
