SAMe

Wednesday 4 April 2012

Has anyone here ever tried SAMe (pronounced Sammy)?  S-adenosyl methionine is a regularly occurring molecule that is being constantly made in our bodies.  In my case, it's proved a pretty fine thing for depression.  On top of that, it's been helping my liver.  The rings that have been under my eyes for I don't know how many years have begun to clear, and the whites of my eyes are whiter.

I am sure glad I have come across this stuff, and I'd be interested to know how others have found it.

UPDATE

Hmm, so it went well there for a few weeks.  The doom I have been experiencing for so many months actually lifted and I felt like ME again.  But then I began feeling a bit anxious and developed a bit of insomnia to boot.  I have been taking 5HTP as well, which is the precusor to serotonin.  For reasons best known to myself I stopped taking that for a while and so the anxiety and insomia (known side effects of SAMe in some people) kicked in.

It's a bit of a trial and error situation.  I admit, I'm disappointed.  After being ruled for so long by my hormones and whatever else going on in my body, to only have a respite of a couple of weeks from that is disappointing.  Oh well, we'll see.

  2. I've been off googling it. I'm wondering if the whites of your eyes are now like Ross Geller's teeth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zlAnZ-gXY

  4. It is pretty cool, Harry.  But like I said in my update, it can cause anxiety issues so perhaps it's not going to be for me after all *sigh*.  

    5HTP is another one that is really good too.

  5. I see that's another naturally occurring substance, with many cool benefits. Are you going to try it, Sue?
