Suggest Medicines With SAM-e

Posted on Wed, 14 Oct 2015

Question: Is there any brand that provides S-adenosylmethionine Butanedisulfonate (SAM-e) instead of those using salts like tosylate, disulfate tosylate ordisulfste ditosylate? I understand Butanedisulfonate is the mosteffective SAM-e stabilizer and contains more active SAM-e.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Yes there are brands available with Butanedisulfonate salt.

- GNC SAMe by GNC Phrama

- Puritan's Pride by NBTY company

- Nature Made SAM-e by Pharmavite Corporation

But before purchasing please verify the salt as raw material for Butanedisulfonate salt is not easily available and some companies have changed salts.

Yes there are claims that Butanedisulfonate salt is the most effective and safe but there no specific clinical trials or evidence to support this.

Hope I have answered your query and I will be happy to help further.
