Wink Oh, Curious...

If you still have the bottle/packaging?

Is there a 1-800 to call? An insert? Or the words enteric coated?

I looked up www.iherb.com SAMe selections (no Schiff)

All said enteric coated...but some were bottle packaged some blister.
about 50/50.

This new granulation type may still not be 100% stable for consumers, and
the enteric coating may be necessary still.

Also I forgot to mention that the sales rep suggested using B-complex with
SAMe...this info is not on the insert however. And it has always been mentioned throughout the years here and there.

Here is an interesting website:
http://www.raysahelian.com/s-adenosylmethionine.html

I do NOT recommend cutting or breaking tablets...this would remove the protection of the enteric coating and the SAMe would then be destroyed by stomach acid. There is a product available at 90mg/tab...it is a Vet product called Denosyl (and it costs more than human SAMe too). It is also well made, coated and blister packed..my cat has taken it.
You can buy it online if you want a lower starting dose.
I cannot find the B-complex suggestion yet, but I will still look later when I have more time. If you find too much "excitement" at starting doses, you can try 200mg/ every OTHER day of the human form. I found it rather energizing until my body got used to it. I increased monthly to 600mg/day where I stayed. I would also not suggest taking it after noon... and still to take on an empty stomach at least 1 hr before food. If irritablility remains, or if you experience mania/hypomania, I would discontinue and seek medical attention.
Latent bipolars, may have trouble with this, but since it is a slow metabolic enhancer, not a drug, you will have "warning". There are many people who are bipolar and do not know it. This is basically the only caution, to date with SAMe.
