SAMe
SAMe
S-Adenosyl methionine (SAMe) is a naturally occurring molecule that is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in the body. SAMe is derived from the amino acid methionine and plays a role in the production of neurotransmitters, hormones, and other important biomolecules in the body. In addition, it is also involved in DNA methylation and is thought to have important anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. SAMe supplements are often taken for their antidepressant and anti-inflammatory effects. Because of its sleep neurotransmitter regulating performance, it can improve sleep quality, and there is research on its effect on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
