SAM-e

SAM-e (also spelled SAME or SAMe; pronounced "sam ee") is one of the marketing names used, mostly in the U. S, for the amino acid S-Adenosyl Methionine (sometimes referred to as S-Adenosylmethionine or S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine). It is sold as a "nutritional supplement", which means it doesn't have to pass the U. S. FDA's tests required of drugs.

Some research[1] has shown that taking SAM-e on a regular basis can help fight depression, liver disease, and the pain of osteoarthritis.
