AMe – S-adenosyl-methionine 400 mg – 60 enteric-coated, vegetable tablets
Dietary supplement with S-adenosyl-methionine (SAMe) to support methylation, normal choline/phospholipid turnover and the body's own antioxidant defenses
SAMe (S-adenosyl-methionine) is the body's universal methyl donor and participates in hundreds of biochemical processes linked to signaling substances, phospholipids in cell membranes and formation of the body's own antioxidants (e.g. via sulfur transfer in glutathione synthesis). Each tablet contains 400 mg of SAMe in an enteric-coated, vegetable formulation that contributes to stability through the stomach and release in the intestine. The product is non-GMO.
Health benefits
SAMe is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is involved in, among other things, methylation, polyamine synthesis and transsulfuration pathways. Balanced information from research and professional resources indicates that SAMe can:
• Support the body's methylation processes (donates methyl groups in a number of reactions)
• Contribute to normal cell membrane structure through the influence of phosphatidylcholine/choline pathways
• Support the body's own antioxidant defenses via sulfur transfer in the synthesis of glutathione
• Support normal turnover of signaling substances (neurotransmitters) through methyl-related steps
• Contribute to general well-being by supporting physiological processes in the liver, joints and nervous system through nutritional physiological mechanisms (without medical claims)
Top 2 main features
-
Methylation support throughout the body
SAMe is a central methyl donor and can support a wide range of enzymatic reactions that require methyl groups (for example in the turnover of phospholipids and certain signaling molecules). -
Support for the body's endogenous antioxidant defences
Via transsulfuration pathways, SAMe can contribute sulfur components that the body uses in the production of glutathione – one of the body's most important antioxidant systems.
A surprising or lesser known effect
SAMe is included in polyamine synthesis, which is relevant for normal cell growth and maturation. This biochemical role is less known outside the professional environment, but illustrates that SAMe has functions that go beyond pure methylation.
