SAM-e (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) was first discovered in 1952 and has been commercially available since the 1970's. SAM-e, (pronounced "Sammy"), is an important compound that occurs in every living cell and takes part in several biological reactions in the human body. The important physiological results of these reactions are the manufacture of joint cartilage and the maintenance of neural cell membrane function.

Dozens of clinical studies have demonstrated that SAM-e supports joint comfort, function and mobility in the spine, hips and knees. It is important to the joints because of its critical role in cartilage formation. SAM-e helps to form proteoglycans, which are used to renew the matrix of cartilage.

The studies also show that SAM-e helps support a positive outlook. It is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it affects the synthesis and activation of various proteins, such as neurotransmitters. SAM-e also plays a role in the mediation of cell-to-cell communication.

The Only Time-Proven Form of SAM-e:

Source Natural's SAM-e is the original form of SAM-e as developed in Italy and introduced to the United States.

Manufacturing this product is extremely difficult, and it must be enteric coated for maximum effectiveness. NutraLife SAM-e must also be packaged in a cold form blister process. Source Natural's SAM-e is guaranteed 400 mg active S-Adenosyl-Methionine. 

SAM-e is an important physiological agent synthesized by the body. SAM-e is involved in over 40 biochemical reactions in the body. In fact, SAM-e is found in every living organism.

Clinical studies indicate that supplementation of SAM-e is capable of improving the structure and function of joint cartilage. SAM-e has also been shown to actually increase cartilage formation. These effects can enhance joint health and mobility.
