How SAM-e Works
SAM-e naturally restores a healthy mood by promoting a balance of brain cell functions. The SAM-e molecule is responsible for over 100 reactions in the body, including making neural transmitters and proteins, and acts as a master switch to keep cells working properly. People who are feeling out of sorts or moody generally have a depleted level of SAM-e.

Supports Healthy Mood and Joint Comfort
Though SAM-e is manufactured in most cells of the body, there are no direct dietary sources for the enzyme. Diet and aging are two of the factors that may lead to decreased levels of SAM-e in the body, which can cause joint pain and altered moods. Supplementing your diet with Nature Made SAM-e Complete has been clinically proven to yield positive results in 7 to 14 days.

Natural Ingredients for a Healthy Supplement
SAM-e Complete is made to Nature Made's purity and potency standards. This product contains no artificial flavors, preservatives, yeast, or gluten.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Heightens Mood!, November 9, 2009

By 

Pwoink "Pwoink" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nature Made SAM-e Complete 400mg, 36 Tablets (Health and Beauty)

Sam-E has worked well for me, after I knew how to take it properly that is. I took it for about 2 weeks before I actually did some reading about it and knew I was doing many things wrong. Including making the wrong purchase. Any brand will probably do, (as long as it is made properly, see #2 below) but I have found Nature Made to be the best selection when it came to purchasing Sam-E. (Yes, I have actually bought and tried the 200mg AND 400mg tablets) No matter what brand you buy, you have to give it TIME to work. 7-10 days is the timeframe that it will typically start to work in, but I have heard of occasions where it has taken longer. After 12 days if you have seen no positive change in mood, up the dose. Eventually, work your way up to taking 1200mg of Sam-E daily for best results.

Yes, these 400mg tablets ARE enteric coated, which you definitely want in your Sam-E supplement...more on this later.

Stomach Cramps and even the possibility of ulcers be a serious problem for people taking Sam-E. I have compiled a list of precautions and things you can do to prevent this:

1) Make sure you take this product on an EMPTY STOMACH. An empty stomach means not having eaten anything for roughly an hour. The best time to take this is in the morning, right after waking up. Finally, make sure you do not eat for at least 30 MINUTES after taking Sam-e. More time may be required as you take more of the supplement.

2) Do NOT purchase Sam-E tablets that are not enteric coated and are not in a box/blister wrap. The Entric coating prevents the pills from being absorbed by your body until they reach the lower intestine which will prevent a majority of stomach cramps and stomach pains. Not only this, but it will prevent the Sam-E from being dissolved in the stomach which renders it virtually useless. Again, the Nature Made 400mg tablets ARE enteric coated.

Also, On a lot of the "Product Ads from External Websites," I have seen a lot of retailers trying to hawk Sam-E in bottles...NOT ok! It is a BIG mistake to buy Sam-E in bottles, I won't get onto it here but you can google it and you will see why. It must be blister wrapped for ultimate freshness!

I hope I have been of assistance, if taken right you will see a dramatic positive change in your mood!

5.0 out of 5 stars SAMe allows quality of life, July 2, 2005

By 

VoteForTheLeastWorst (Dayton, OH, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nature Made SAM-e Complete 400mg, 36 Tablets (Health and Beauty)

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome in late 2001 (I have a very severe debilitating case). I began taking SAMe in May of 2002 with a small dosage of 100mg (another brand). I immediately was 35% better, so began Nature Made SAMe at 200mg a day. I now take 400Mg a day, and after taking it for years now, I function 75% better versus without it. I have planned to increase to 800Mg to try for a 100% (we can hope can't we? :) ).

SAMe allows me to get out of bed, to move more fluidly, to feel good about facing the day, and CONTROLS MY PAIN in a way nothing else can. I cannot function without it.

I STRONGLY suggest this product for anyone suffering from a muscular, arthritic, or brain related disease that causes pain or discomfort. However you should see your doctor or a specialist before starting any new medication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sam-e changed my life! Yes, seriously., May 28, 2009

This review is from: Nature Made SAM-e Complete 400mg, 36 Tablets (Health and Beauty)

I started taking Sam-e over a month ago and I love it! Before starting it I was experiencing anxiety and panic attacks coupled with mood swings. I started keeping track of my mood and realized that I was having more bad days than good. Even little things would upset me and it was like once something happened (no matter how small) it just ruined my mood sometimes for a few hours and sometimes for the rest of the day. I ordered my Sam-e from wholehealth.com because they include a free bottle of Vitamin B Complex with each order. Sam-e can cause a build up of homocysteine in your system which is correlated with heart disease. The B Complex prevents homocysteine build up. I'm currently taking 400 mg a day. It started working quickly and I've experienced no side effects. I've been taking it for over a month and I just have a general sense of well being. I feel happier and I'm not having panic attacks anymore. I've taken Paxil in the past and this is less expensive and without the side effects. [...]. Read up on the benefits of taking a B Complex with it. It's worth mentioning that B Complex contains Vitamin B2 also called Riboflavin. When you take a Vitamin B supplement your body uses what it needs and if it's more than it needs the remainder of the B vitamin is excreted in your urine causing the urine to be very bright yellow. I strongly recommend Sam-e. It really has changed my life. Yes, seriously.
