Double Strength! from Source Naturals. This SAMe is a stable, bioavailable form of S-adenosyl-L-methionine. These tablets are enteric coated and blister packed to prevent breakdown and inactivation of the ingredients. Dozens of clinical studies have demonstrated that SAM-e supports joint comfort, function and mobility in the spine, hips and knees. It is important to the joints because of its critical role in cartilage formation. Studies also show that SAMe helps support a positive outlook. It is able to cross the blood-brain barrier where it affects the synthesis and activation of various proteins, such as neurotransmitters. SAMe is present in every living cell in the body. However, levels of SAM-e tend to decline with age.
SAM-e and Homocysteine
One of the byproducts of normal SAMe metabolism is homocysteine. When there are adequate supplies of the metabolites, such as B6, B12 and folic acid, required for the synthesis and regeneration of SAMe, homocysteine breakdown occurs either through re-methylation or through trans-sulfuration. These processes turn homocysteine into glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Therefore, supplementation with B6, B12 and Folic Acid or taking Homocysteine Protection Factors (PF) may insure proper function of SAMe.

Pharmaceutical Grade Stabilized SAM-e by Jarrow Formulas. SAM-e 400 is a full 400 mg elemental SAM-e from 800 mg of SAM-e tosylate disulfate. SAM-e 400 is manufactured under low temperature and low humidity and is enteric-coated to ensure a biologically active product.
SAM-e (S-Adenosylmethionine) is a chiral molecule and therefore consists of two forms: (S,S) SAM-e and (R,S) SAM-e. The biologically active form is the (S,S) structure, while the (R,S) structure is biologically inactive.
Jarrow Formulas' SAM-e is made naturally by microbiological fermentation and then specially processed to preserve 68-80% (S,S) SAM-e, the highest active level available.
High Absorption Magnesium w/Bioperine® contains elemental magnesium chelated with the amino acids glycine and lysine. It is a "di-peptide" chelate, which means that each magnesium atom is chelated with two amino acid molecules. It has a low molecular weight of 324 daltons, which is ideal for optimum absorption. Bioperine® is a patented herbal extract that enhances nutrient absorption.
Supplies 100% Magnesium Glycinate–elemental magnesium chelated with glycine for exceptional absorption. Gentle on the system and very well tolerated, even by those with poor digestive function. Chosen for several university studies on magnesium due to its superior absorbability. Delivers dual benefits - glycine is a valuable amino acid that supports collagen formation and nerve function.
*Reduces Homocysteine to Methionine *
Homocysteine PF (Protection Factors) by Jarrow Formulas is formulated with methyl group donors and supporting nutrients to facilitate methylation. Methylation is inhibited by poor dietary habits (excessive protein and fat or inadequate nutrient content), alcohol, smoking and genetic predisposition. Impairment of methylation results in elevated levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid and a serious health risk. Homocysteine is reduced to methionine, a biologically useful amino acid, by enzymes that require folic acid, B12, B6 and methyl groups. Intrinsic factor facilitates the absorption of B12.
Contains no common allergen or sugar. Easy-Solv™ tablets dissolve within minutes of ingestion.
Theanine 100 by Jarrow Formulas is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea that exerts beneficial effects on brain metabolism. Theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased generation of alpha-waves. Theanine may improve learning ability and sensations of pleasure by affecting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain. Also, theanine exerts protective effects on the brain by antagonizing glutamate toxicity. Jarrow Formulas' Theanine 100 is identical to the theanine found in green tea made enzymatically from amino acids.

Jarrow Formulas' SAM-e is made naturally by microbiological fermentation and then specially processed to preserve 68-80% (S,S) SAM-e, the highest active level available.
Comprehensive Prostate Formula by Doctor's Best Comprehensive Prostate Formula is a complete nutritional package for the prostate gland. The formula contains the leading herbs, amino acids, minerals and vitamins which are known to benefit prostate health and function. The suggested daily serving of three tablets supplies effective amounts of the key therapeutic ingredients - the herbs and amino acids - as demonstrated in clinical studies. The vitamins, minerals and lycopene are included as supportive ingredients for prostate health maintenance.
The Saw Palmetto extract in this product is standardized to provide 290 mg of active ingredients (fatty acids and sterols) per the suggested daily dose of three tablets, which equals the amount of these therapeutic ingredients in the extracts used in clinical studies.
Primal Defense by Garden of Life. Primal Defense is a whole food probiotic blend utilizing 14 species of hardy, non-dairy Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs). Primal Defense contains naturally occurring live enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and chlorophyll.
