Hey colin. I hope you don't mind if I stick my nose in here.

Indirectly. TMG increases the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, but there are other things that can happen to methionine than just formation of SAMe. Yes, you'll get an increase in SAMe, but I think other things, too.
> Given that SAM-E eventually sentr us both 'over the edge' with anger symptoms, I'm wondering whether TMG has this potential also?Or is this a more natural,'downstream' method of raising SAM levels perhaps?
From an anecdotal perspective, both Ron and I found that these substances act synergistically. Our inability to find a logical mechanism for this synergism ought not to stand in the way of recognizing that our mutual experience is the only factual evidence that we have. Empiricism trumps theory.
