About This Product

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an enteric coating?

An enteric coating protects the supplement from the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach. It allows the supplement to release once it passes through the stomach for optimal absorption.

Too high a price?
I could feel the difference when I did or didn't takemy Sam-E but in the store I was shocked at the price.I ran all over town when it was on a rare sale. The V-shop brand is affordable enough I can up my dose till the days lengthen again. No difference in quality.

I hope it works!
I began taking this product over 15 years ago due to my inherited osteoarthritis and the pain it caused me on long runs. The mood improving effect may be responsible for most benefits, but the end result is that I could run and work out. I noticed the difference in my endurance and enthusiasm during times when I was without this supplement due to not being able to obtain it. I can't attribute any earth-shaking effects to this supplement, but it has been useful as a part of my total diet. during…

Mood and joint support

Recommended

Ran out

It helps with sleep and mood

Does this cause stomach problems?

  I've found it only causes problems (nausea) if taken with food of any substantial sort; as such, I take it directly upon waking. 20-30 minutes later food seems fine. Main issue I have noticed is a decreased appetite; not a huge one, only noticeable in a gym rat most likely! Just have it on an empty stomach and relatively early in the day and you shouldn't have any problems.

  I've been taking 2 a day for about a year. I have never had any stomach problems, but I do take 2 probiotics daily. I've never heard of this being a side effect though.

  I have been taking it for 3 years and have noticed no stomach problems. I have a history of ulcers, and it has no effect on that at all.

  This did not cause stomach problems for me. You are supposed to take them on an empty stomach.

  Not in the least. I have taken Sam-E for years with zero stomach problems.

  I haven't had any issues and I've been taking it for quite a while.

  I can't say that SAMe causes stomach problems. I don't know.

  Hi,Not for me.

  Not for us!

Does Vitamin Shoppe's sam-e contain mannitol (gives me stomach pain)? I didn't see it in the ingredients list but wanted to double check.

  The only brand, until I did my source couple years ago, that no use mannitol is this brand, it's why I choose this brand.

  I am very sensitive to mannitol and have had the same problem with other brands but I have no problem with this brand.

Vote for the best answer above!

is this free of mannitol?

  As far as I can determine there is no mannitol. There would be no reason to include a high molecule sugar in the formulation. It is not listed on the label. Usually enteric coated tablets are protein coated to disintegrate in the duodenum.

  Not that I know of - best you put your question to Vitamin Shoppe - its there product.

  That would be a question for the Vitamin Shoppe lab.........or product department.

  I'm sorry I can't answer that. Don't know.

Are there any issues with SaMe interacting with other vitamins or perscription meds?

  Ask your physician

Obviously the bottom line is to ask your physician. I was looking for any major issues with interaction before doing that.

  I had no issues.

Do you become resistant to it over time?

  Hi LarryIn my case, no. I did realize when it came time to address other things that were making me feel unwell, however. Hormone cream, better nutrition, apple cider vinegar, and some simple yoga/exercise.. along with few mins reading C.H.Spurgeon in the morning, work for me at the moment. The Sam-E helped when I needed it, for sure.. But I have to adjust time to time what works as my body ages. Best wishes!

  I have been taking it for over 3 years and have not noticed any type of resistance. I'll add that I definitely notice a change in mood etc when I have been slacking off at taking it regularly, so that's important.

  A little, but when I stopped for a period of time...I could tell the difference. It does help. I have taken it for 2 years.

  No, not that I am aware. I take in for a while then I stop it for a while. I believe it helps with mood more than anything.

  Yes, it worked for me for about 1 year.

Vote for the best answer above!

Does it work well with anxiety problems?

  SAMe is known for its use in mood elevation (the opposite of depression). I can't speak to anxiety. Try L-theanine for anxiety.

  Not sure--I started taking it for joint support, but I do think it has given me mood health support also.

Vote for the best answer above!

where is Sam- e manufactured?

Best Answer:  This item is manufactured in the United States.

I have been buying the Farrow brand. I once used nature Made and it didn't work as well. Have you tried this brand?

Best Answer:  I have taken it for over 3 years and really like it.
