A well-written article, explaining various pathways, dietary requirements and differences in effectiveness of some drugs and supplements in different groups of people - eg. Why some people have bad reactions to SSRIs, why SAMe is effective for some and not others and a lot more.
Worth reading, especially if you are new to supplements.

Thanks.
They need to stop talking about folic acid and start talking about methylfolate.
I respond to methylfolate.
Required to produce SAMe:
TMG
B6 in the form of P5P
Methylfolate
MethylB12
I can't speak to the minerals such as zinc because I never responded to those when messing around with methylation.
I qualify as an "overmethylator" when I add in the TMG. Sometimes I'm not stressed ENOUGH. The conversion is Choline (4 methyl groups) -> TMG (three methyl groups) -> DMG (two methyl groups). By dropping TMG, you are relying on choline. It's not like this is the biggest issue ever, but sometimes I want a little more stress incentive to get my stuff done.
