I went to the website linked below and it says:
"Homocysteine and SAMe are like two ends of a see-saw. What makes one go up, makes the other go down. So the same nutrient formula that helps fight depression, may have the beneficial side effect of reducing heart disease and stroke."
Isn't it the case that SAM-E breaks down into homocysteine? And that therefore it is suggested that one take B6, B12, TMG in order to convert the homocysteine back into SAM-E?
When I wrote to the website folks saying the information was misleading they replied:
"This article was written by a medical doctor who specializes in nutrition. Can you tell me your credentials?"
I'm thinking they must be very confident to respond that way. So perhaps I'm confused about the whole thing. Anyone care to comment?
