What people say about SAM-E and energy
“Taking SAM-e completely changed my life from total lethargy with the only relief being Adderall or Ritalin to being a functional person, no side effects noticed and I only have to cycle it occasionally.”
“SAMe and agmatine sulfate over the past year to be the two most noticeably helpful supplements i have ever taken for baseline energy/mood.”
“I was taking Sam-E for an energy boost when I go for a ride. I no longer take that stuff though because I've heard it disrupts sleep patterns.”
