SAMe (S-adenosyl-methionine) is an amino acid derivative normally synthesized in the body.
SAMe is used by the body in three important pathways:
1) Methylation (contributing methyl groups to activate certain molecules).
2) The synthesis of polyamines (for cell growth, gene expression, neuronal regeneration, etc.)
3) Trans-sulfuration (synthesis of cysteine, glutathione, and other sulfate chemicals).
In young, healthy people SAMe is well distributed throughout the body as a result of its synthesis from methionine by enzymes using ATP. As we grow older we need a daily health supplement to maintain proper levels of this amino acid.
