    SAMe (say “Sammy”) is a naturally-occurring compound in the body. It has been used in supplement form in Europe for more than 20 years to treat depression and pain. In the United States, doctors have studied SAMe as a treatment for depression, liver disease and osteoarthritis. SAMe appears to affect some physical processes, including the regulation of hormones and the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and adrenaline - all key regulators of mood.
