Cellfood
SAM-e®
SAM-e®
(pronounced
"Sammy")
is
the
commonly
used
name
for
S-Adenosyl-Methionine.
SAM-e
occurs in varying amounts
naturally
in
every
living
cell
and
is
a
co-factor
in
a
process
called
methylation
that
affects
more
than
100
complex
biochemical
reactions
in
the
human
body.
SAM-e
helps
our
bodies
make
and
regulate
hormones,
cell
membranes
and
the
neurotransmitters
that
affect
mood.
SAM-e
is
a
"methyl
donor",
meaning
that
when
it
reacts
with
vitamin
B12
and
folic
acid,
it
gives
away
units
of
carbon
(a
methyl
group)
to
other
molecules
in
the
body.
That
process
is
critical
in
the
production
of
"feel
good"
brain
chemicals
like
dopamine
and
serotonin.
How,
exactly,
does
taking
Cellfood
SAM-e®
improve
a
person's
mood?
Researchers
have
identified
several
possibilities.
Normal
brain
function
involves
the
passage
of
chemical
messengers
between
cells.
Cellfood
SAM-e®
may
enhance
the
impact
of
mood-boosting
messengers
such
as
serotonin,
norepinephrine
and
dopamine
-
either
by
regulating
their
breakdown
or
by
speeding
up
production
of
the
receptor
molecules
they
latch
on
to
(serotonin
is
the
neurotransmitter
the
drugs
like
Prozac
elevate).
Cellfood
SAM-e®
may
also
make
existing
receptors
more
responsive.
These
molecules
float
in
the
outer
membranes
of
brain
cells
like
swimmers
treading
water
in
a
pool.
If
the
membranes
get
thick
and
glutinous,
due
to
age
or
other
assaults,
the
receptors
lose
their
ability
to
move
and
change
in
response
to
chemical
signals.
By
methylating
fats
called
phospholipids,
Cellfood
SAM-e
keeps
the
membranes
fluid
and
the
receptors
mobile.

SAM-e
was
originally
developed
by
an
Italian
firm
as
a
pharmaceutical
in
the
early
70s
.
SAM-e
has
now
been
the
rave
for
more
than
20
years
and is now available in New Zealand.
It
has
been
touted
as
the
most
potent,
multi-purpose,
anti-ageing,
anti-disease
therapy
ever
introduced!
Until
now,
SAM-e
has
only
been
available
in
a
capsule
form.
Today,
we
are
able
to
provide
SAM-e
into
a
stabilised
liquid
form,
while
adding
a
Cellfood
solution,
creating
this
unique
proprietary
"feel
good"
blend
Cellfood
SAM-e®.
SAM-e
is
currently
used
to
treat
five
principle
conditions:
depression,
osteoarthritis,
fibromyalgia,
liver
disease
and
migraine
headaches.
Cellfood
SAM-e
and
arthritis:
Nearly
1/3
of
the
over
40
million
Americans
with
chronic
pain
use
drugs
like
aspirin,
ibuprofen
and
acetaminophen.
In
arthritis-strength
dosages,
these
non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory
drugs
(NSAID's)
may
have
devastating
side
effects.
Over
100,000
Americans
are
hospitalised
annually
from
NSAID
induced
ulcers
and
more
than
16,000
die.
In
a
dozen
clinical
trails
with
more
than
22,000
patients,
researchers
found
SAM-e
as
effective
as
pharmaceutical
treatments
for
pain
and
inflammation,
without
any
signs
of
digestive
tract
damage,
sexual
dysfunction,
dry
mouth
or
nausea.
And
instead
of
speeding
the
breakdown
of
cartilage,
SAM-e
may
actually
help
to
restore
it.
Medical
experts
from
The
Arthritis
Foundation
US
recently
stated
that
they
were
satisfied
that
SAM-e
"provides
pain
relief".
Also,
SAM-e
has
shown
no
signs
of
drug
interaction
and
can
be
taken
along
with
most,
if
not
all
prescription
drugs,
under
a
doctor's
supervision.
However
it
is
advised
that
one
group
of
patients
that
should
not
take
SAM-e
are
those
with
bipolar
disorder,
commonly
known
as
manic
depression.
Because
it
fights
depression,
experts
say,
it
could
make
a
patients
mania,
or
up
moods,
worse.
Cellfood
SAM-e®
Promotes "emotional well-being" as well as "joint
health". SAM-e "provides pain relief" particularly for arthritis, while
also contributing to the building blocks for cartilage. It
is also involved in making glutathione, which the liver uses to remove poisons such as alcohol. It has been shown that patients with depression and some other conditions (such as Migraine headache, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and liver disease), have been found to have lower levels of this essential compound. Supplementing with Cellfood Sam-e is an effective natural solution.
