PRODUCT DESCRIPTION S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine (SAMe) is a natural compound and methyl group donor that supports the methylation cycle, a metabolic process that is essential for many aspects of health. Methylation is fundamental for ridding the body of certain toxins and certain people, such as those with chronic liver disorders, cannot produce adequate levels of SAMe. SAMe’s effectiveness to support a balanced mood has been demonstrated by many clinical studies. It is thought that SAMe works by boosting serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin levels in the brain, low levels of which are commonly associated with mood imbalances such as anxiety and depression. SAMe has also been found to support joint health in osteoarthritis patients by reducing inflammation and protecting joint tissue from degradation.
AOR ADVANTAGE AOR introduced the first SAMe supplement to Canada in 2000. AOR’s SAMe 400™ provides an effective dosage and the stable form of this valuable compound in an enteric-coated tablet for maximum effectiveness.
