 Several lines of evidence suggest SAMe may have implications for the aging process:
-# '''DNA Methylation''': As a primary methyl donor, SAMe plays a role in DNA methylation, a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA molecules. DNA methylation patterns change with age, and these alterations have been implicated in the aging process and age-related diseases. Ensuring adequate SAMe levels might support healthy DNA methylation patterns.

 # '''Liver Health''': Aging is associated with a decline in liver function, and SAMe has been researched for its potential benefits for liver health, given its role in producing and breaking down various molecules in the liver.
 # '''Neurotransmitter Synthesis''': SAMe is involved in the synthesis of several neurotransmitters. As neurotransmitter imbalances are linked to mood disorders and cognitive decline in older adults, maintaining optimal SAMe levels might have neuroprotective effects.
