Gregory Chandler on SAM-e for Brain Function


SAM-e supports brain function by its methylation effects. 
Methylation is the process by which a four atom appendage is
transferred from one molecule to another.

Of all methyl-donating substances known in mammalian metabolism, SAM-e is the most important.  The donation
of methyl groups affects the proper function
of many metabolic processes, including brain function,
energy production and DNA metabolism.  Neurotransmitters, compounds involved in the brain's cell-to-cell communication,
are the products of methylation reactions.  These compounds include L-DOPA, dopamine and related hormones, epinephrine, and phosphatidycholine.

GREGORY CHANDLER--CARNITINE











Carnitine is an amino-acid like supplement that is known for assisting fat burning.  Carnitine is a critical molecule for transporting fat into the mitochondria of cells where it is burned
for fuel. 

Recent studies suggest that carnitine increases muscle recovery from exercise and increases the number of testosterone receptors
in muscle cells.  This means that testosterone can more effectively promote muscle growth.
