What is an agnostic about supplements? The y are probably not covered in medical schools since dietary supplements are NOT approved drugs. All the 'evidence' on those substances are not based on solid double blind studies. Some doctors recommend them especially if they have a financial interest in them, and there is a lot of money in them ther fields. This 'SAM-e' appears to be just another amino acid, which if taken in sufficient quantity and at conflicting times, may presumably interfere with Sinemet. Our neurologist, a MDS, was THE primary physician when it involved Parkinson's.
