Bioclinic Naturals – SAMe – 30 tabs

SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine) by Bioclinic Naturals supports joint health and emotional well-being.

Clinically it has proven beneficial for a number of conditions, most notably osteoarthritis, neurodegenerative disease, depression and liver disease. For patients with major depressive disorder, SAMe has been shown to be effective not only when compared to standard antidepressants, but also for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) nonresponders. SAMe has also shown efficacy for osteoarthritis comparable to NSAIDs, including celecoxib. Quite importantly, it is likely via increases in cartilage formation, glutathione production, DNA methylation, and gene expression which contribute to its efficacy, a stark contrast from pharmaceutical analgesics. Research also suggests benefits for neurodegenerative disease, and potentially for improving endothelial function.

SAMe Benefits:
• Key factor in several key biological pathways, including methylation reactions, glutathione formation, and glutathione-s-transferase activity
• Complexed with disulfate tosylate, a well-tolerated, stable, and clinically tested form
• Enteric coating protects SAMe degradation from gastric acid, allowing for significantly improved intestinal absorption
• 200 mg SAMe per tablet, allows for flexible dose titration
• Sourced from the highest quality Italian Isoactive SAMe available on the market
• Isoactive SAMe uses a natural fermentation process that yields 40% higher active ingredients over synthetic variations

Adult dose for osteoarthritic pain: 1 to 3 tablets 2 times per day or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

If you are taking antidepressants, hepatotoxic drugs, or monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to taking SAMe in place of or in addition to those medications. Not recommended for use in children. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. Do not take it at night as SAMe may cause anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia. People with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) should not use SAMe unless under medical supervision.

Possible side effects are mild gastrointestinal upsets (such as stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and flatulence), anxiety, hyperactive muscle movement, insomnia, and hypomania. When these side effects occur they often diminish with time or resolve with lower doses or stop using the product. A deficiency of vitamins B6, B12, and other methyl donors may exacerbate SAMe deficiency.

Keep out of reach of children.
