What Is SAM-e / S-Adenosyl Methionine?
S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAM, SAMe or SAM-e) is an amino acid. SAM-e was discovered in 1952 in Italy, where the highest quality SAM-e is currently manufactured. Until recently, SAM-e was exceedingly expensive to produce, and therefore unavailable to the public, although it is fairly well studied. It is manufactured in the brain from another amino acid, methionine. SAM-e is the most active methyl-donor in your body, meaning it donates methyl groups to other chemical compounds in your body including neurotransmitters, changing them into other compounds. SAM-e is then “recycled” through an ongoing re-methylation process – more on this below. Why Buy Our SAM-e? This is the original SAM-e, S-Adenosyl-Methionine tosylate disulfate, as developed in Italy and patented in the US. The manufacturing of this product is extremely difficult; it must be produced in a dry environment and transported packed in dry ice. It is then stabilized and double-enteric coated. This coating ensures that it is absor
