Product Description

Size: 60 Softgels

Dietary supplement. S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine. Supports joint comfort, function and mobility. Source Naturals SAMe is a stable, bioavailable form of S-Adenosyl-L-methionine. these tablets are enteric coated and blister packed to prevent breakdown and inactivation of the ingredients. Dozens of clinical studies have demonstrated that SAMe supports joint comfort, function and mobility in the spine, hips and knees. It is important to the joints because of its critical role in cartilage formation. SAMe helps to form proteoglycans, which are used to renew the matrix of cartilage. The studies also show that SAMe helps support a positive outlook. It is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it affects the synthesis and activation of various proteins, such as neurotransmitters. SAMe also plays a role in transmethylation. Transmethylation reactions effect the synthesis, activation, and metabolism of various different biological molecules. Some compounds that SAMe methylates are phospholipids. This is a fundamental step in the mediation of cell to cell communication. SAMe is present in every living cell in the body and plays an important part in many critical cellular functions. However, levels of SAMe tend to decline with age. Contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, soy or wheat. Contains no preservatives or artificial color, flavor or fragrance. Suitable for vegetarians.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Nature Made, November 6, 2008

I gave SAM-e a try, but bought the Nature Made Complete brand (200 mg). I noticed a positive difference in my mood and energy level. I don't mean that I felt an overwhelming since of euphoria or anything like that...at least that wasn't the case from my experience. The difference was subtle, yet noticiable. I didn't tell my wife I had started taking it, yet she also noticed the difference. I decided to keep taking it, and switched to this, less expensive option. I do believe there is a difference in what you get. I have noticed no benefit at all from the Source Naturals brand. I'll continue to take it since I paid for it, but I wish I had stayed with Nature Made and will switch back over to them once these are gone. (no, I do not work for Nature Made!)

OK, here's the deal: I go to my health food store (which I try to love and support) and find my SAMe.... And it costs me $10 more than the same product ordered through Amazon! Bummer! But I want to support my local retailer.... What a problem! My solution: buy the cheaper essentials (chocolate and the other basic food groups) locally and get my chemicals online... At least when I'm sure what I'm getting is the same product.

OH, and yes, SAMe does make me feel better. It seems to help my joint aches and (REALLY) improves my mood (no more chronic mild depression... well... at least not till I watch the evening news!). No anxiety seen with 200 mg or 400 mg taken once a day. I do take it in the morning since poking around on the internet suggests that it might interfere with sleeping and it's supposed to work better at bypassing the stomach acids when taken on an empty stomach.

I bought this brand to compare it with the Life Fitness brand that I bought from CVS. This is as good as the Life Fitness brand for a lower price. It is also packed in blister foil for maximum protection which is not mentioned in the description.

In my opinion, if you have tried an expensive brand of SAMe and it helped you, then the Source Naturals brand is probably just a good for much less. At least this was my expereince.

I am not in the medical profession but I read that it is recommended to take a B complex vitamin supplement with SAMe, and since this brand does not contain B complex unlike the Life Fitness brand, then you may want to buy B complex separately.
