SAM-e / SAMe "As far as natural treatments for depression are concerned, one of the most effective I know is aerobic exercise – 30 minutes five times per week should yield results within a few weeks. Others, such as St. John’s Wort and SAM-e can help relieve mild to moderate depression. To ease anxiety, give up coffee and other forms of caffeine, and try breathing exercises for relaxation." Andrew Weil, M.D.

Classified as a prescription drug in Germany, Russia, Italy, and Spain, SAMe [s-adenosylmethionine] has been the subject of studies on depression at Harvard Medical School, the University of California, and King’s College Hospital in London. What these studies have shown is that SAMe influences brain chemicals by helping to convert the feel-good neurotransmitters norepinephrine into epinephrine, and serotonin into melatonin. > description from HBC Protocols - which sells SAMe - and has online reports about SAMe research and usability ~ ~ ~ SAM-e products from Amazon.com
