Cautions
If you are taking antidepressants, consult a health care practitioner prior to taking SAMe in place of or in addition to those antidepressants. Not recommended for use in children. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take at night as SAMe may cause anxiety, restlessness and insomnia. People with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) should not use SAMe unless under medical supervision. Possible side effects are: mild gastrointestinal upsets (such as stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, flatulence), anxiety, hyperactive muscle movement, insomnia and hypomania. When these side effects occur they often diminish with time or resolve with lower doses or cessation of use. There are no documented cases of allergies to SAMe. Keep out of the reach of children.

Feature Summary
Clinical research shows that SAMe elevates mood and has a positive effect on behaviour. It also maintains cartilage health and contributes to the production of joint-supporting compounds such as glucosamine and chondroitin.
SAMe works actively with folic acid and vitamin B12, and together can promote healthy brain functioning. Natural Factors SAMe is specially coated for ease of swallowing and maximum bioavailability, which also enhances SAMe's stability.
Individuals who are using prescription antidepressants or who suffer from bipolar disorder should use this product only under the supervision of a health care practitioner.
