Quick search found this. It is from a distributor so I guess take the information with a grain of salt.
Sam-e is an important compound already found in our bodies. SAM-e is vital to a wide variety of body processes. These include: mood regulation (ease depression), the generation of cartilage (which is the spongy cushion in your joints), the detoxification of potentially damaging compounds you might consume and liver repair.
As we age, SAM-e levels can fall. The result could mean a variety of ailments, including depression and osteoarthritis.
Sam-e plays a roll in the "methylation" process in our bodies. The methylation process is the mechanism by which our body manufactures cartilage and detoxifies potentially damaging compounds.
Optimum Nutrition's Sam-e is a complete methylation support formula. Each easy-to-swallow capsule combines 400 mg of Stabilized SAM-e. Our Sam-e also contains Vitamin B6, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12. These ingredients are important for maximum effectiveness of Sam-e.
IMPORTANT - Not all Sam-e products are alike! Laboratory tests show Sam-e in Tablet form is unstable and reduces the active ingredient from 400 mg to 160 mg. Enteric Coating only provides for easier swallowing and does nothing for product quality.
