Description: SAMe by ASN
SAMe is short for S-adenosylmethionine. It's not an herb or a hormone. It's actually a molecule that is found in and produced by all living cells in the body. Involved in a process that occurs a billion times per second in the body, methylation, SAMe is vital. Without it, methylation, a transaction of methyl groups to neighboring molecules, would not occur as we know it. This process regulates everything from various hormone and neurotransmitter levels to brain function.
The implications of SAMe are huge. It is known as an extremely effective anti-depressant, arthritis and joint pain soother, cartilage rebuilder, and helps with liver conditions, fibromyalgia, and migraines. According to an article by ABCNEWS.com,
"Dr. Richard Brown, an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, has been offering his patients SAMe for several years, bringing it from Europe. 'By and large, SAMe is faster, better and has hardly any side effects' compared to prescription anti-depressants, he says. 'In fact, it does a lot of good things in the body' like easing joint pain and producing an antioxidant that's helpful to the liver." |
