Product Details
- Helps support healthy mood balance and relieve osteoarthritic pain.
Suggested Use
Adults:
SAMe should always be taken on an empty stomach.
- For mood balance:
1–4 tablets 2 times per day or as directed by a health care practitioner.
- For osteoarthritic pain:
1–3 tablets 2 times per day or as directed by a health care practitioner.
Do not exceed a total of 8 tablets per day.
SAMe must be taken for a minimum of 2 weeks, at which time effects should be observed.
Cautions
If you are taking antidepressants, hepatotoxic drugs or monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, consult a health care practitioner prior to taking SAMe in place of or in addition to those medications.
Not recommended for use in children.
Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not take at night as SAMe may cause anxiety, restlessness and insomnia.
People with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) should not use SAMe unless under medical supervision.
Possible side effects are: mild gastrointestinal upsets (such as stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, flatulence), anxiety, hyperactive muscle movement, insomnia and hypomania.
When these side effects occur they often diminish with time or resolve with lower doses or cessation of use.
There are no documented cases of allergies to SAMe.
Keep out of reach of children.
Deficiency of vitamins B6, B12, and other methyl donors may exacerbate SAMe deficiency.
Theoretically may have additive serotonergic effects when used with antidepressants, but this has not been observed clinically, and when used simultaneously, no increase in adverse effects were noted compared to placebo.
