Vitacost SAM-e 400 mg, 30 enteric-coated tablets

What is SAM-e?

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-e) is a compound that occurs naturally in the body. It participates in essential biochemical reactions, such as methylation, a key process for normal cellular function. This supplement provides 400 mg of SAM-e per tablet, in a 30-tablet enteric-coated presentation.

Why choose the enteric form?

The enteric coating is designed to protect the active ingredient from degradation by stomach acids, allowing SAM-e to reach the small intestine for more effective absorption. This helps ensure the compound's bioavailability and reduce potential gastrointestinal discomfort.

How to take SAM-e?

The recommended dose is one tablet daily, preferably on an empty stomach or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. It is important to follow the instructions on the package and consult a doctor before starting any supplementation, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.

Ingredients and composition

It does not contain gluten, lactose, or artificial colorings.
