Methionine, Choline, Inositol, and Betaine are 'lipotropics,' which means their prime function is to prevent excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. Lipotropics also increase the liver's production of lecithin - which keeps cholesterol more soluble, detoxifies the liver, and increases resistance to disease by helping the thymus gland carry out its functions.

Vitamins B-6, B-12, and Folic Acid are very important to the methylation process of SAM-e, and in the reduction of homocysteine levels in the body. Homocysteine is a dangerous amino acid which has been associated with cardiovascular disease.

Coenzyme Q 10 is the direct precursor to 'ATP' in the body, which must be present for the body to make its own SAM-e.

Curcumin is a powerful herb that can have bile stimulating, liver protectant, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity.

Siberian Ginseng is beneficial for fatigue because it spares glycogen (the form of glucose stored in the liver and muscle cells) by increasing the use of fatty acids as an energy source. It is used to enhance athletic performance, to rejuvenate, to increase longevity, and to detoxify and normalize the entire system.

Alfalfa is rich in calcium and Vitamin K, and contains significant amounts of most vitamins and minerals.

Chlorella is a tiny, single celled water-grown alga containing a nucleus and an enormous amount of readily available chlorophyll. It also contains protein(approximately 58 percent), carbohydrates, all of the B vitamins, vitamins C and E, amino acids, and rare trace minerals. In fact, it is virtually a complete food.

Spirulina is a naturally digestible food that aids in protecting the immune system, in cholesterol reduction, and in mineral absorption.

Let's fully understand SAM-e ( S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine )

SAM-e is a naturally occurring molecule that is distributed throughout virtually all body tissue and fluids. It plays an essential role in many biochemical reactions involving enzymatic transmethylation. SAM-e is produced in the body from Methionine and Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). SAM-e Synthesis is closely linked to vitamins B-12 and Folate metabolism. Deficiencies of these vitamins can result in decreased SAM-e concentrations in the central nervous system. Healthy bodies, given proper nutrition, naturally make just the right kind of SAM-e and in the right amounts. Low levels of SAM-e in one's body can lead to all kinds of health problems.

Here's the all important question that we must answer: How is the best way to increase our SAM-e levels? SAM-e pills from Europe hit the United States market a few years ago. Two forms, Tosylate and Butanedisulfonate, are widely marketed under various brand names. Neither of these "forms" of SAM-e occur in nature in the exact same way that they have been formulated by man. A good rule of thumb: If a compound does not occur in nature, and is nothing but a concoction of man, then perhaps we should think twice before ingesting it into our body. SAM-e pill supplementation does have an "up side" and a "down side." The "up side" is well publicized.

Here's the "down side."

The Tosylate salt pill SAM-e has only a 1% oral bioavailability.

The Tosylate formulation brings extreme concerns about stability of the product.

Clinical trials of SAM-e showed some promise for depression, osteoarthritis and cirrhosis; however, doses of 1600 MG daily (8-200mg Pills) were most commonly used for these studies. Do we really believe that 200 MG- 400 MG per day of a pill that has a 1% bioavailability will actually do anybody any good whatsoever?

We know that SAM-e supplementation without also supplementing B-12, B-6 and Folate can lead to elevated homocysteine levels. Elevated levels of homocysteine have been linked to cardiovascular and renal disease.

SAM-e pills can cause flatulence, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and nausea. Anxiety has occurred in people with depression and hypomania in people with bipolar disorder.

SAM-e pills do not come cheap. Typically, they are sold with heavy advertising dollars for 40 cents to $1.00 each. You are led to believe that 2 pills a day will cure all your problems. Let's do the math on this -- - 400 MG times 1% equals 4 MG bioavailability. Has the light turned on yet?

Now, here's the better alternative -

Give your body the nutrition it needs so that it will be able to make it's own SAM-e when needed and in the proper amounts and proper molecular structure.

Nature's Rx SAM-e KickStart Rx is just such a product. It is not pure SAM-e, but rather the nutritional components your body needs to manufacture its own SAM-e. Our product was the first, and is still the best SAM-e precursor product on today's market. It is priced at a very reasonable $10.00 for a month's supply. When you take our SAM-e KickStart product, you can forget about elevated homocysteine levels and all the other negative features of the SAM-e pills from Europe. SAM-e is a drug in Europe and in most other countries. Now we understand why.
