Jarrow Formulas SAM-e 400 mg, 30 Tablets

Jarrow Formulas SAM-e 400 mg is an extra-strength S-adenosyl methionine supplement in a 30-tablet carton. The pictured package identifies EnteroGuard coating and foil blister packaging, along with vegan and gluten-free labeling.

400 mg SAMe versus the compound weight

The carton identifies 400 mg net yield of SAMe from 800 mg SAMe tosylate disulfate. These are two ways of describing the ingredient preparation, not 400 mg plus another 800 mg of active SAMe.

The pictured package also states active S,S form. Compare the net SAMe amount, rather than the larger compound weight, when comparing strengths. This is the 400 mg product, not the separate 200 mg tablet formula.

EnteroGuard-coated tablets in foil blisters

The carton identifies EnteroGuard coating and foil blister packaging. This is a tablet product, not a capsule, powder or chewable. The front image identifies vegan and gluten-free labeling.

The available image does not show a readable complete other-ingredient panel. Review the actual package for the full tablet and coating ingredients, allergen statements and handling instructions rather than assuming they match another SAMe product.

One tablet daily on an empty stomach

The manufacturer's directions for the 400 mg product are one tablet once daily on an empty stomach, or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Follow the current package if its directions differ.

The carton contains 30 tablets, providing 30 daily servings at that schedule. Do not substitute the different daily schedule listed for the 200 mg strength.

Important precautions and storage

Do not use if pregnant or nursing. The manufacturer states that individuals with Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder or manic depression should not use this product.

Consult a healthcare professional before use if under 18, taking medication, particularly antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or MAO inhibitors, or managing a medical condition. Do not add SAMe to a medication regimen without professional guidance.

This product may cause gastrointestinal upset in some people. Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place. Review the current carton for complete directions and warnings.
