SAMe

SAMe (prounounced "sammy")is a substance produced in the human body which helps to regulate the neurotransmitters involved in mood control. Laboratory synthesized SAMe is sold over-the-counter as a dietary supplement based upon the idea that it could relieve depression by increasing the availability of these neurotransmitters.
