S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-E) is an amino acid that is used in the treatment of many conditions including:
depression,
liver disease,
osteoarthritis,
fibromyalgia,
schizophrenia,
migraine headaches, and to
increase bile flow.
Other names for SAM-E include: S-Adensyl Methionine, L-Methionine, Adomet, and Ademethionine.
Over 150,000 Americans and many thousands of Europeans use SAM-E supplements regularly.
SAM-E was discovered in Italy about 5 decades ago (Cantoni, 1952). However, the first clinical study of SAM-E's use for depression was not completed until the 1970s (Agnoli et al., 1976). At that time there were no usable oral preparations and early studies had to use intravenous [IV] and intramuscular [IM] delivery.
SAM-E was first introduced into the U.S. dietary supplement market in 1999. It has been used with success to treat depression in Europe for the past 20 years.
SAM-e also treats:
Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness,
Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness,
