Found in all living cells, SAM-e is a metabolite of methionine (an essential amino acid).

Jarrow FORMULAS SAM-e is made naturally by microbiological fermentation and then specially processed without solvents to preserve 68-80% (S,S) SAM-e, the highest active level available.

Glucosamine is an aminosaccharide synthesized by transamidase enzymes from glucose and an amine group from glutamine. HCl (hydrochloric acid) stabilizes the glucosamine in this product.

Glucosamine is a component of joint and intestinal tissue and is involved in the production of synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. SAM-e has been clinically shown to have the following benefits:

Joint Strength: 

SAM-e supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transulfuration. In this process, critical components of connective tissue, including glucosamine and the chondroitin sulfates, are sulfated by SAM-e metabolites.    

Brain Metabolism:

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

Longevity:

Methylation of DNA appears to be important in the suppression of errors in DNA replication. Demethylation of DNA is considered a contributor to the aging process.  Proper methylation through substances such as SAM-e positively influences longevity.

Liver:

SAM-e metabolism supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are substances important for liver function.

Suggested Usage:

Take 1 to 2 tablets per day on an empty stomach, or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.

WARNING: Do not use if allergic to shellfish.
Individuals using prescribed medications such as antidepressants, including Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and MAO Inhibitors should consult a physician before using.  Individuals with Parkinson's disease, bi-polar disorder or manic depression
should not use SAM-e.
