Improved Enteric Coating Food Supplement S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Supports Joint Comfort, Function and Mobility Suitable For Vegetarians Source Naturals® SAM-e is a stable, bioavailable form of S-adenosyl-L-methionine. These tablets are enteric-coated and blister packed for consistent quality and optimal bioactivity. SAM-e is present in every living cell in the body and plays an important part in many critical cellular functions. A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that SAM-e supplementation supports joint comfort, function and mobility in the spine, hips and knees. Preliminary research suggests that SAM-e may work by supporting the production of proteoglycans, which are important components of cartilage. Numerous clinical studies have also demonstrated that SAM-e can help support a positive outlook. It is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it is thought to affect the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and to help maintain normal membrane fluidity. SAM-e works together with the B-vitamins, in particular folic acid, making it important to obtain adequate amounts of the B-vitamin complex from diet and supplements. SAM-e plays a key role in transmethylation, a vital type of chemical reaction that affects the synthesis, activation, and metabolism of various biological molecules. Compounds that require this reaction include phospholipids, which are fundamental for all cell membrane functions and for cell to cell communication.
