Jarrow Formulas, SAMe (Disulfate Tosylate), 400 mg, 60 Enteric Coated Tablets

Supports:

• Joint Strength
• Brain Metabolism and Mood
• Liver Function

Jarrow Formulas^® SAM-e 400 provides a full 400 mg SAM-e (net yield) from 800 mg of SAM-e tosylate disulfate. SAM-e 400 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 (and 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 chemical solvents to preserve 68-80% (S,S)  SAM-e, the highest active level available.

SAM-e supports

Joint Health

SAM-e supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transulfuration. In this process, critical components of connective tissue, known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including glucosamine and chondroitin, are sulfated by SAM-E metabolites to yield sulfated GAGs, such as glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate.

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 and precursor to acetylcholine, as well as neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, and has been shown to have a positive effect on mood.

Liver Function

SAMe metabolism supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), which is critical for antioxidant defenses and liver functions including phase II detoxification.

EnteroGuard® is a proprietary cellulose-based, food-grade, pH-sensitive enteric coating that resist stomach acid and disintegrates in the less acidic pH of the upper intestines, where the SAMe is made available for absorption.
