There is evidence that SAM-e may:

• be the fastest acting, safest and most effective natural antidepressant available.
  
• help prevent and reverse liver disease.
  
• be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and osteoarthritis.
  
• help to synthesize phosphatidylcholine, which keeps cell membranes fluid and is used in the brain to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

SAM-e (S-adenosyl-methionine) is an amino acid derivative normally synthesized in the body. It is widely used in Europe as an antidepressant. SAM-e is used by the body in three important pathways: methylation (contributing methyl groups to activate certain molecules); the synthesis of polyamines (for cell growth, gene expression, neuronal regeneration, etc.); and trans-sulfuration (synthesis of cysteine, glutathione and other sulfate chemicals). In young, healthy people SAM-e is well distributed throughout the body as a result of its synthesis from methionine by enzymes using ATP. However, in sickness and in age, system levels may become depleted. Supplemention of the cofactors folate, TMG, vitamins B6 and B12, together with SAM-e appears to be an effective method to overcome this deficiency.
