Hi! Charles:
I checked out S-adenosyl-methionine in PUBMed. There are several
articles that say S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM-E?) induces symptoms like
Parkinson's disease!
Please check this out.
I still haven't found the article that says SAM-e is helpful in the
synthesis of dopamine. Shall let you know when I find it.
