S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (also called S-adenosyl methionine, S-adenosylmethionine, SAMe, or SAM-e in the United States or ademetionine in Europe, and also often abbreviated as SAM and AdoMet) is a chemical that is found naturally in the body. SAMe is sold in the United States as a dietary supplement.S-Adenosyl-L-methionine was discovered in the early 1950s. It’s made in the body from methionine, an amino acid found in foods. It has been found to regulate key functions in living cells.Abnormal levels of S-Adenosyl-L-methionine in the body have been reported in liver diseases and depression. This prompted researchers to investigate whether S-Adenosyl-L-methionine might be helpful in treating these conditions. The idea that S-Adenosyl-L-methionine might be helpful for osteoarthritis came from studies of S-Adenosyl-L-methionine for depression. Some of the participants in the depression studies who also had osteoarthritis said their joint symptoms improved when they took S-Adenosyl-L-methionine.
