Be caution in dividing dose of SAM-e:
The substance must be absorbed in the Duodeno (second part of intestinal system) so it must pass inactive through stomach and first part of intestine.
This is the why it is prepared in gastro-intestinal resistant pills or capsules.
If you divide pills you risk to inactive the drug, cause it could be dangered by the acid in the stomach.
If you would prepare divide dose in capsule you must be sure to use gastro-intestinal resistant capsule.
Note that the pills are prepared in blisters with
acid environment to preserve its quality of gastro resistance.
You should never open the blister if not immediately before takeing the pill, if you do that you could danger its resistant skin.
In conclusion, sam-e is an extremely delicate preparation, to hand it could inactive it.
