Life Extension SAMe (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) Promotes Brain And Liver Health 200 mg, 30 Enteric Coated Tablets

SAMe (S-adenosyl-methionine) is an amino acid derivative normally synthesized in the body. SAMe is used by the body in three important pathways: Methylation (contributing methyl groups to activate certain molecules) The synthesis of polyamines (for cell growth, gene expression, neuronal regeneration, etc.) 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. However, in sickness and in age, system levels may become depleted. Supplementation of the co-factors folate, TMG, vitamins B6 and B12, together with SAMe appears to be an effective method to overcome this deficiency
