Sam-e arthritis

First, before we discuss SAM-e arthritis, let's cover some basic information on SAM-e:

SAM-e is a nutrient manufactured naturally by the human body. Our bodies use the amino acid methionine to produce SAM-e...and although methionine is a good amino acid supplement in its own right, you cannot increase your body's level of SAM-e by taking methionine.

However, if your body is lacking in methionine, then the production of SAM-e may also fall as a result.

SAM-e is a very important substance that is involved in dozens of metabolic processes within our body.

There is a great deal of SAM-e information out there, but not much of it covers the fact that SAMe is effective in relieving osteoarthritis pain.

One US Government Report concludes that it is, in fact, 80% more effective in relieving osteoarthritis than placebo.

Here is one excerpt from this Government report: "Out of 13 unique studies considered, 10 studies were included in a meta-analysis of the efficacy of SAMe to decrease pain of osteoarthritis.

One large randomized clinical trial showed an effect size in favor of SAMe of 0.20 (95 percent CI [-0.39, - 0.02]) compared to placebo, thus demonstrating a decrease in the pain of osteoarthritis."

Tips on Choosing a SAM-e Supplement

Pharmaceutical grade supplements, on the other hand, are manufactured to the same rigorous standard that prescription drugs are.

2. SAM-e is a nutrient that can be destroyed by your powerful stomach acids on contact. It is important you take an enteric coated SAMe supplement. The enteric coating allows the nutrient to pass thru the stomach acids almost entirely unscathed and get into your bloodstream where it goes to work.
