OK, here's the deal: I go to my health food store (which I try to love and support) and find my SAMe.... And it costs me $10 more than the same product ordered through Amazon! Bummer!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Nature Made
I gave SAM-e a try, but bought the Nature Made Complete brand (200 mg). I noticed a positive difference in my mood and energy level. I don't mean that I felt an overwhelming since of euphoria or anything like that...at least that wasn't the case from my experience. The difference was subtle, yet noticiable. I didn't tell my wife I had started taking it, yet she also...

This review is from: Source Naturals SAMe, Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg, 60 tablets (Health and Beauty)
OK, here's the deal: I go to my health food store (which I try to love and support) and find my SAMe.... And it costs me $10 more than the same product ordered through Amazon! Bummer! But I want to support my local retailer.... What a problem! My solution: buy the cheaper essentials (chocolate and the other basic food groups) locally and get my chemicals online... At least when I'm sure what I'm getting is the same product.

OH, and yes, SAMe does make me feel better. It seems to help my joint aches and (REALLY) improves my mood (no more chronic mild depression... well... at least not till I watch the evening news!). No anxiety seen with 200 mg or 400 mg taken once a day. I do take it in the morning since poking around on the internet suggests that it might interfere with sleeping and it's supposed to work better at bypassing the stomach acids when taken on an empty stomach.

I don't mean that I felt an overwhelming since of euphoria or anything like that...at least that wasn't the case from my experience. The difference was subtle, yet noticiable. I didn't tell my wife I had started taking it, yet she also noticed the difference. I decided to keep taking it, and switched to this, less expensive option. I do believe there is a difference in what you get. I have noticed no benefit at all from the Source Naturals brand. I'll continue to take it since I paid for it, but I wish I had stayed with Nature Made and will switch back over to them once these are gone. (no, I do not work for Nature Made!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Value, April 23, 2008
This review is from: Source Naturals SAMe, Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg, 60 tablets (Health and Beauty)
I bought this brand to compare it with the Life Fitness brand that I bought from CVS. This is as good as the Life Fitness brand for a lower price. It is also packed in blister foil for maximum protection which is not mentioned in the description.

In my opinion, if you have tried an expensive brand of SAMe and it helped you, then the Source Naturals brand is probably just a good for much less. At least this was my expereince.

I am not in the medical profession but I read that it is recommended to take a B complex vitamin supplement with SAMe, and since this brand does not contain B complex unlike the Life Fitness brand, then you may want to buy B complex separately.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper but not as good, April 13, 2009
By Joanna Williams (Biloxi, MS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Source Naturals SAMe, Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg, 60 tablets (Health and Beauty)
I started taking the Spring Valley brand in January and loved it, better moods, less joint pain and the diet I've been on for the last year finally started working. I lost 25 lbs in 2.5 months. Then I switched to the source naturals to save money. It was twice the quantity for the same price. I noticed a difference within a week. I'm irritated, moody and depressed again and my joint pain has increased. I tried doubling the dose, but saw no effect. I'm going back to the Spring Valley brand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Melts in your hand, not in your mouth ..., July 26, 2010

This review is from: Source Naturals SAMe, Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg, 60 tablets (Health and Beauty)
This works great but the enteric coating melts just in the temperature inside my home! It sticks to my hand, to other tablets, to the different tablets inside my vitamin container ...

4.0 out of 5 stars My Vet Prescribed SAMe For My Dog, June 28, 2010

This review is from: Source Naturals SAMe, Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg, 60 tablets (Health and Beauty)
My Shih Tzu's liver enzymes were over the top and the vet told to to give him SAMe. Truthfully I don't know if they helped, but I gave him the pills daily for about 3 months, along with Milk Thistle and a change of diet, and his numbers dropped back to normal.

I bought the first package at a health food store and paid almost twice as much as I did on Amazon.

Something worked and it just may have been the SAMe. The main thing is that he is fine now and full of piss and vinegar.

3.0 out of 5 stars Was fine, but now it won't ship, January 21, 2010

I am signed up for Subscribe and Save. I got two deliveries of this product, but the next one didn't come. Now I have discovered that with no explanation, and no way of finding out why, it will no longer be shipped to Alaska! Weird. I am not impressed by the service, though the product was all right. Not as good as Nature Made, but all right.

This review is from: SAMe (Health and Beauty)
This product works as good as name brand. Not sure why people say it's different. Like the results and the price.

This product was recommended by our vet for a dog with a liver problem. Levels were monitored and the SAM-e is working. Sorry we have not tried taking this ourselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, but SAMe did nothing for me, February 17, 2008
By DannyBoy (Nor Cal, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Source Naturals SAMe, Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg, 60 tablets (Health and Beauty)
This was a hard product to rate. Source Naturals is great quality, so if SAMe works for you, then this is a 5-star product. However, SAMe did not work for me, so SAMe as a general supplement gets 0 stars.
