In reply to SAMe as anti-depressant Anyone used it?, posted by Peter on March 19, 1999, at 22:29:03
> I've been hearing about S-adenosyl-methionine (see Newsweek 3/22/99). Anyone out there had experiences with it? Where to buy it cheaply? I gather it will soon be available in vitamin stores.
As far as a cheap source of SAMe, let me pass on to you a suggestion that I found on the web. It's from a Dr. Richard Podell, "Fortunately, there is a simple, inexpensive way to stimulate the body to make SAMe on its own: a combination of three old fashioned vitamins (folic acid, vitamin B12 and B6) together with Betaine TMG, another nutritional supplement."
Betaine TMG or just plain TMG (Trimethyglycine) can be bought at health food stores, it's very cheap.
Note, I've read that bipolars shouldn't take SAMe, it can bring on a manic phase.
