I'm new kid on the block. I just jumped in with my prior posting, but would like to get some feed back on various issues. I went back and read everyones input on the 5HTP and SAMe. I'm curious about pricing.It is my understanding that the reason for the high cost of drugs was patent related, i.e., drug companies add man-made compounds to naturel compounds so they can patent them thereby charge an arm and a leg. The lady at my local health food store showed me a bottle of what was supposed to be 5-HTP, but they were asking $30 for it and it had other ingrediants. Some one told me that the actual ingrediants in 5-HTP was St Johns, Kava and 3 other herbs, hence the "5". John, possibly you know the story or this or if anyone does, I'd like to know. Thanks
