Well with most things in this country there are only a few brands that we have both of which cost to damn much.lol
INGREDIENTS:
Ademetionine disulfate tosylate 400mg (equiv. to 200mg SAM-e)
Pyridoxine HCl (Vit B6) 10mg
Cyanocobalamin (Vit B12) 50mcg
Folic Acid 100mcgLike i said i took a whole tablet today and didnt notice anything, should i stick with one tablet or cut it in half?
Thanks again Lar I'd be lost without your advice.
