> Here in canada its like $40 for a bottle of 30 200mg caps. To take the standard 1600mg thats close to $400 a month? WTF. It is supposedly a very good treatment when it works. Why doesn't somebody step in and make it cheaper for ethical reasons ?

>I agree. Very pricey. I must admit that if SAMe helped me out significantly, I would somehow someway find the ability to pay. Depression is worse than the price of SAMe to me. It seems to me that the inherent characteristics of retail competition would have reduced the cost by now. No such luck.
Why is the cost still so high after all these years? I have no idea.
In the US I bought 60 200mg blister packed enteric coated tabs for $31. The same price is for 30 400mg tabs. They are individually blister packed enteric coated tabs. They must have gold dust sprinkled in them or something.
