Q: Does SAM-e cause weight gain or weight loss?
Thanks for your question. Weight loss or gain is often on the minds of people when they start taking a new supplement. We are always wondering how a new supplement will affect our body chemistry, and we often hope for miraculous weight loss! SAM-e may help support your mood, which will most likely make you feel better. Feeling better often helps you get motivated to make positive lifestyle changes which may include weight loss. But SAM-e does not have any research stating that a side effect is weight loss or weight gain.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
