SAM-e BUYER BEWARE

Question:
Is your 200mg SAM-e a true 200mg of active SAM-e?
Is your 400mg SAM-e a true 400mg of active SAM-e?
If you do not know the answer to this question you may be only getting half of what you think you are getting and the price you thought was too good to be true probably is.
Answer:
SAMe advertised as 200mg SAM-e (or S-Adenosyl-Methionine) should have 200mg of active SAM-e.
SAMe advertised as 400mg SAM-e (or S-Adenosyl-Methionine) should have 400mg of active SAM-e.
What Every SAM-e Buyer Needs to Know:
Every true 200mg SAM-e tablet is made up of a 400mg compound called S-Adenosyl-Methionine tosylate disulfate. This compound has two components:
1) 200mg SAMe (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) the active component
2) 200mg tosylate disulfate (stabilizing salt) the inactive component
Every true 400mg SAM-e tablet is made up of a 800mg compound called S-Adenosyl-Methionine tosylate disulfate. This compound has two components:
1) 400mg SAM-e (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) the active component
2) 400mg tosylate disulfate (stabilizing salt) the inactive component
SAM-e is short for S-Adenosyl-Methionine and does not refer to the total salt SAM-e tosylate disulfate.
Here's what to look for:
Some companies will advertise 400mg SAMe but when you check the supplement facts on their label they will say: 400mg SAMe tosylate disulfate yielding 200mg S-Adenosyl-Methionine. This is not 400mg SAMe. This is a 200mg SAMe tablet.
1) Check the supplement facts, make sure that the 400mg SAM-e advertised refers only to 400mg S-Adenosyl-Methionine (not 400mg SAM-e tosylate
disulfate yielding a 200mg SAMe tablet).
2) True SAM-e 200mg tablets are round.
True SAM-e 400mg tablets are oval.
