Description
SAM-e (also called S-adenosylmethionine or ademetionine) is a form of the amino acid methionine and is involved in many important bodily functions. Low levels of methionine, folate, or vitamin B-12 in the body can cause a drop in SAM-e levels. SAM-e plays a role in the immune system and helps produce and break down brain chemicals such as serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine. Because of this, it plays a role in mood, pain, cognition, and more. It’s often used to positively influence mood, depression, fibromyalgia, joint health, to aid in symptoms of osteoarthritis, liver health, and cognitive support.

I’ve read a lot of research that says inflammation is often a factor in depression. So, we started using this along with Omega-3’s, and curcumin for my teenage son’s depression and it’s really made a difference.
