SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine)
SAMe (or S-adenosyl-L-methionine) is a naturally occurring molecule that is taken to help relieve a variety of symptoms. These symptoms include, but are not limited to joint pain, and optimization of liver function. SAMe is an important natural supplement because over one-third of Americans suffer from chronic joint pain. The most common method of controlling this pain is with aspirin or ibuprofen, which can lead to sever gastric side effects.
SAMe is not an herb or hormone. It’s a molecule that all living cells, including our own, produce constantly. With age SAMe levels decline, and the older we get the more drastically the levels drop. Once SAMe levels start to diminish, the difficulties start to arise. These difficulties can be remedied by SAMe supplements that are a stable, synthetic replication of the compound.
