S-adenosyl-methionine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. S-adenosyl-methionine is the most important methyl donor in the body. It is sometimes referred to as S-Adenosylmethionine or S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine. In the United States it is sold as a nutritional supplement under the marketing name SAM-e (also spelled SAME or SAMe; pronounced "sam ee"). This means it doesn't have to pass the FDA 's tests required of drugs. Some research[1] <http://www.ahcpr.gov/clinic/epcsums/samesum.htm> (http://www.ahcpr.gov/clinic/epcsums/samesum.htm) has shown that taking SAM-e on a regular basis can help fight depression , liver disease , and the pain of osteoarthritis |
