Good luck, http://www.samsstore.com/samsgeneralstore/same.html SAM-e (S-Adenosylmethionine) is a dietary supplement that has been clinically shown to promote and support joint health and comfort as well as emotional well-being. SAM-e is a naturally occurring compound that serves as a major source for the production of chemicals in the brain and protects DNA from the genetic mutations associated with aging and disease. SAM-e has been used in clinical studies to treat depression, dementia, demyelination diseases, liver disease, schizophrenia, arthritis and other conditions. SAM-e has been confirmed by several studies to potentially be more effective in the treatment of depression than traditional pharmaceutical anti-depressants. SAM-e can possibly increase the levels of the important neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and phosphatdylserine. SAM-e has been used to counteract depression and anxiety during the detoxification of drug dependent patients. SAM-e has also been used in Europe in the treatment of alcohol related liver damage and cirrhosis. SAM-e also may inactivate estrogens that cause liver damage and promotes bile flow to aid in the digestion of fat. SAM-e may promote cartilage and the formation of connective tissue in joints while a deficiency of SAM-e in the joints can result in the loss of integrity of cartilage. Clinical studies demonstrate that 2 tablets (400 mg) a day is an effective level of supplementation for most people or as directed by your qualified health consultant. The best time to take SAM-e is before meals on an empty stomach. Depending on the condition of the individual, some people may achieve greater benefits with a higher level of supplementation. When taking SAM-e be sure to follow the directions of your physician. Evidence indicates that SAM-e will not work when B12 and folate levels are low. It is suggested to take these supplements while supplementing your diet with SAM-e: 1000 mcg Vitamin B12 and 800 mcg Folic Acid are sufficient.
