Jarrow Formulas, Natural SAM-e 200 mg

Description

SAM-e (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine) supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are components of the body's endogenous antioxidant network and important for liver function, including phase II detoxification.

SAM-e methylation reactions are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as L-DOPA, dopamine and related hormones, serotonin, epinephrine, and phosphatidylcholine (a component of lecithin).

SAM-e supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transulfuration. In this process, critical connective tissue components known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including glucosamine and chondroitin, are sulfated by SAM-e metabolites to produce sulfated GAGs, such as glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate.
