Natural remedy for depression
Natural Health, Sept, 2004
As much as half of the population with major depression doesn't respond to medications like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. But combining those treatments with the dietary supplement S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe) enhanced their effectiveness in 50 percent of the patients in a study at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
A molecule produced naturally in the body, SAMe may help regulate serotonin and dopamine, says lead author Jonathan Alpert, M.D., Ph.D. No studies have yet looked at SAMe's impact on mild depression.
