SAM -E 400 mg - 60 tablets

Jarrow Formulas® SAM-e 400 – provides a full net amount of 400 mg of SAM-E, derived from 800 mg of SAM-E tosylate disulfate. This product is manufactured according to best manufacturing practices for SAM-E, at low temperature and low humidity, and is enteric coated to ensure a biologically active product. SAM-e has undergone many clinical studies involving thousands of patients. Researchers have identified many structural and functional benefits of SAM-e, involving over 40 biochemical processes with a variety of effects on the body, including improving liver function, increasing cartilage formation, and improving mood.

SAM-E has been clinically proven to have the following benefits:

Joint health: SAM-E supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transsulfuration. In this process, critical components of connective tissue 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.

Brain metabolism: The methylation effects of SAM-E are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as L-DOPA, dopamine and related hormones, serotonin, adrenaline, and phosphatidylcholine (a component of lecithin).

Liver: SAM-E metabolism supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are substances critically important for liver function, including phase II detoxification.

Not all SAM-e products are the same

SAM-E It exists in two forms: (S,S) SAM-E and (R,S) SAM-E. The biologically active form is the (S,S) structure, while the (R,S) structure is inactive (but widely used in supplements).

Jarrow Formulas® SAM-e is predominantly in its active form. It is made naturally through microbiological fermentation, then specially processed, without solvents, to retain 68-80% (S,S) SAM-E, which is the highest active level available.

SAM-e SAM-e is a very fragile and highly reactive molecule. It degrades rapidly at high temperatures or humidity. Improper handling of SAM-e can lead to degradation within a few hours.

Therefore, Jarrow's technological superiority allows the use of a special method in which production is carried out under conditions of low temperature and low humidity. Each tablet is enteric-coated and blister-packed to ensure the highest possible bioavailability and safety for SAM-e available on the market. Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that taking SAM-e supplements is most effective when enteric-coated with special gastro-resistant fluid polymers.

Honors and awards: The product Jarrow's SAM-e is ranked #1 in sales in the natural products channel for 52 weeks, as reported by SPIN, a market research and consulting firm for the Dietary Supplement Industry. Jarrow Formulas was one of the first companies to produce SAM-E, giving the company the most experience in producing this unique product.
