I am 25, and in my last year in biochemistry and have EDS. SAM-e is a precursor to many biochemical pathways, including collagen. I have started using it in the last few days, and results take only 2-3 weeks. It is a prescribed medicine in Europe, and just recently approved for the US, in the last few months. It is not currently regulated by the FDA, so you can purchase it over the counter, still. I have noticed that the pain in my knee has ceased, but I am looking for even more positive results, such as less hypermobility. Another insite, always go to http://consumerlab.com before purchasing supplements. They do testing of products, and give you the brand names that pass, along with some technical data.
