SAMe supports: Brain Metabolism and Mood* SAMe methylation reactions are involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a substantial constituent of grey matter within the brain and cellular membranes.* It has also been proposed to be involved in the formation or metabolism of neurotransmitters, which helps to support a balanced mood.* Joint Health* SAMe supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transsulfuration.* In this transsulfuration process, critical components of connective tissue known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including glucosamine and chondroitin, are sulfated by SAMe metabolites to yield sulfated GAGs, such as glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, the building blocks of cartilage.* Liver Function* SAMe supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), which is critical for antioxidant defenses and liver functions including phase II detoxification.*"
