Dietary Supplement Uses SAM-e is a naturally occurring compound found in all living organisms. In humans, SAM-e is distributed throughout the body and is involved in many biochemical processes. Since significant amounts of SAM-e are not available through diet alone, the body is primarily responsible for producing its own SAM-e. Scientists know that SAM-e declines as people age and that certain groups of people, including those with low mood and liver conditions, tend to have lower levels of SAM-e in their bodies. Over 100 clinical studies involving thousands of people have proven that SAM-e supplementation benefits a multitude of body functions including: Mood Support: Enhances mood by promoting a healthy balance of neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin, which are part of overall healthy brain cell functions.* Joint Comfort: Promotes joint health by helping to maintain joint cartilage which naturally deteriorates with physical activity and age.* Liver Health: Helps support detoxification and overall healthy liver functions. Directions Suggested Use: Take 2 tablets per day. The best time to take SAM-e is on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before a meal. Warnings Store in a cool dry place out of reach of children. People with bipolar (manic) depression should not take this or any other product containing SAM-e except under a doctor’s supervision. If you are pregnant or nursing, or taking prescription antidepressant medications, consult your doctor before using this product. *This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
