I'll be looking at SAMe more for the acetaminophen-countering effect (I never exceed my prescribed dose, and get periodic blood tests) but any additional benefits won't be dismissed/ignored. If it's too expensive, I'll have to stick with the NAC, which I've been taking for years with no side effects whatsoever, and my liver tests are all well within normal. XX
