Jarrow Formulas® SAM-e 200 provides a full 200 mg SAM-e (net yield) from 400 mg of SAM-e tosylate disulfate. SAM-e 200 is manufactured under low temperature and low humidity and is enteric-coated to ensure a biologically active product. Contains More of the Active S,S Form. Found in all living cells, SAM-e is a metabolite of methionine (an essential amino acid). SAM-e is a chiral molecule and consists of 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 biologically inactive. Jarrow Formulas® SAM-e is made naturally by microbiological fermentation and then specially processed without solvents to preserve 68-80% (S,S) SAM-e, the highest active level available. SAM-e has been clinically shown to have the following benefits: Joint Strength, SAM-e supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transulfuration. In this process, critical components of connective tissue, including glucosamine and the chondroitin sulfates, are sulfated by SAM-e metabolites. Brain Metabolism, SAM-e methylation reactions are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as L-DOPA, dopamine and related hormones, serotonin, epinephrine and Phosphatidyl choline (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 important for liver function, including phase II detoxification. Jarrow Formulas® SAM-e 200 is foil blister-packed to maximize stability and safety. DO NOT use if outer seal of blister pack is broken. Full Potency 200 mg SAM-e (net yield) is derived from 400 mg of SAM-e tosylate disulfate. For best results, use with Jarrow Formulas® JarroSil®, the biologically Activated Silicon®.
