In reply to anyone recommend a reputable, cheap SAMe brand?, posted by hok on December 2, 2004, at 20:10:25
Just as a little note, I don't think brands matter as far as SAMe goes, but you should look for something enteric coated. It breaks down in the stomach and is unused by the body unless it is coated to get past the stomach. SAMe is all SAMe, in comparison to St. John's Wort, where one brand might have very high levels of hyperforin and another brain very low. So for SJW, brands definitely matter, but for a chemical like SAMe, Im thinking its all the same.
However, maybe the methods for coating vary from brand to brand, thus making one brand better than another? I'm not sure.
But, to answer your question, I've used lifetime brand and vitamin shoppe brands. Lifetime is the cheapest I've found.
