For optimal absorption into the body, the best time to take SAMe is on an empty
stomach at least 30 minutes before a meal. To support and promote joint health,
mobility and joint comfort, take 2 tablets twice a day. Clinical studies indicate
that benefits may be evident in the first two weeks of supplementation and may
continue for a prolonged period of time.
For optimal mood and emotional well-being, take 2 tablets in the morning and
2 tablets in the afternoon. Taking SAMe at bedtime may interfere with a good
night's rest. Clinical studies indicate that benefits may be evident within
one week of supplementation. If benefits are not achieved in two weeks, you
may require a higher level of supplementation. To determine the proper level
of supplementation that works best for you, gradually increase the number of
tablets, up to 8 tablets a day, until benefits are achieved.
SAMe can be used regardless of the number of benefits that are being sought.
