Has anyone tried the supplement SAM-e?

Sounds like it might could help, although it is quite expensive. Below is what a couple of sitehad to say about it.

(1)Dietary Supplement
S-Adenosyl-Methionine

Mood Enhancer*

Beneficial levels of SAMe (S-Adenosylmethione-Methionine), an amino acid naturally produced by the body, may be reduced by aging. Many studies exist regarding the use of SAMe supplementation to enhance mood and promote a positive outlook without side effects. Clinical studies also show SAMe contributes to joint health by stimulating the production of GAGs (Glycosaminoglycans), important components of connective tissue.

(2) SAMe is a distinct form of the amino acid methionine. In clinical studies, SAMe has been found to stimulate the production of GAGs (Glycosaminoglycans), important components of connective tissue.

Hey Mike!

I have thought about trying this product as well but i'm really worried about taking pills to change levels of chemicals in my brain..As far as I know Sam-E isnt available in North America but there is something called 5-HTP that act's the same way and can be found at most health stores..Let us know if you go ahead with trying it!

Hi,

SAM-e is available in every health food store, Costco and even some Drugstores carry it.
I think you can get it cheaper if you check healthfood stores online. hi

Hi

I tried SAMe and I don't think anything happened. I'm trying again ( I have a lot of bottles of it).
I wondered if the brand I got is potent.
