The subjects will have the supplements dispensed at visit 2. They will be contacted weekly for the next three weeks to ensure that they are tolerating the supplements without significant side-effects. If these side-effects are significant then the dose of zinc will be decreased for all subjects to 15 mg of elemental zinc/day; if symptoms persist the SAMe dose will then be decreased by 25% (to 1200 mg/day) and then by 50% (to 800 mg/day) if necessary until the supplements are tolerated. 12 mg of zinc and 800 mg of SAMe is the lowest dose possible.
