SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine)

SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in supporting various biological processes. It acts as a methyl donor, helping with the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood, and contributes to the synthesis of DNA, proteins, and phospholipids. SAMe is involved in liver function and joint health by supporting detoxification and reducing inflammation. Often used as a supplement, it may help improve mood and joint comfort, although its effectiveness varies among individuals. It is available by prescription and over-the-counter in some countries.
