SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) is the best-documented natural antidepressant in the world. There have been more than 100 peer-reviewed studies showing that SAMe works for depression. It's also faster-acting and has fewer side effects than pharmaceutical antidepressants.
Available over-the-counter, SAM-e is safe because it is not a drug, herb or a even a vitamin, but simply a natural substance normally synthesized in our bodies.
It's crucial for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, DNA, RNA and phosphatidylcholine, which keep cell membranes in a youthful state. SAMe is the precursor for the free-radical-fighters glutathione and cysteine.
Taking SAMe restores this amino to an optimal level, producing dramatic improvements in mood. The best time to take SAMe is in the morning, and the usual dosage is 200 to 400 mg per day.
Study after study has confirmed that SAM-e not only works as well as or better than pharmaceutical antidepressants but also works faster and with far fewer side effects... and it helps arthritis and fibromyalgia as well.
