S-Adenosyl
Many people use the supplement S-Adenosyl, commonly known as SAMe, and swear by the results. Now pets can benefit form this natural supplement too. SAMe is a detoxifier and antioxidant with many properties that help dogs and cats.
- Supports healthy liver function
- Relieves pain and swelling due to osteoarthritis
- Improves cognitive function
- Snap Tabs variation provides four equal parts for a wide range of weights.
SAMe is best known for improving liver function and metabolic activity in dogs and cats. But this powerful supplement containing milk thistle does much more.

w/ diet, a dramatic drop in elevated liver enzymes
I don't know whether I can credit SAMe-425 alone for the improvement (I also began supplementing my dog's diet with dandelion smoothies and kefir, increased her dose of vitamin E and fish oil, and broke up her home-cooked diet to 5 small meals per day), but after 3 months of the combined regimen, my 8-year-old blue heeler's liver enzymes went from off-the-charts high to high normal. Now, 5 months later, the values are completely within normal - about a 300% drop from when she was first diagnosed with advanced hepatobiliary disease. Her doctor said that she'd never seen anything like this. Again, I made several dietary changes at the same time she started taking SAMe-425, so I can't say this medication alone is responsible for the dramatic improvement. Still, much credit has to be given to SAMe-425, since previously a healthy, organic, home-cooked diet had not offset her serious liver problems. I definitely recommend it.

Great Product
From MissouriComments about S-AdenosylMy Scottie had serious liver issues and we were in danger of losing him, or at best much more expensive medicine and treatment. With this pill, recommended by my vet, we have brought his bad test results into an acceptable range and he is enjoying good health. -
Responsible and Reputable
From MarylandComments about S-AdenosylThe SAMe product came shipped free of charge, the product price was excellent and, well, my dog would probably die w/o this product... so I am thrilled to have such great support with my dog's health through such a reputable and responsible company! -
Great

Used for elevated liver labs
From Minneapolis, MN, USAComments about S-AdenosylMy dog has been on this for elevated liver enzymes which was related to food allergies. We have been giving this to her for some time, once daily. This plus diet modification has resulted in normalization of liver values. Of interesting note is our previous dog was on it too, vet advised, for cognitive changes associated with aging, that dog lived to 17 years old and it improved his mentation as manifested by not aimlessly wandering in house. -
Can't beat the price!
From Pottsville, PA, USAComments about S-AdenosylGreat product that is working wonders for our Riley & his Liver issues! Cost is less than half the price , at his Vets! Same Brand too.

-
According to the manufacturer, Adenosyl tablets are sensitive to moisture and heat and should not be split or crumbled because they may lose some or all of their effect. We recommend talking with your veterinarian if this product is difficult to administer to your pet. They may be able to suggest a different formula or demonstrate a different technique for easier administration.

I am giving my dog S-adenosyl-425. Vet says to wait 1 hour after giving the pill to feed the Dog. If I want to give the pill after he eats how long do I need to wait??
-
Per manufacturer, tablets should be given on an empty stomach, at least one hour before meals. Tablets are sensitive to moisture and heat and should not be split or crumbled. The manufacturer doesn't state how long to wait after the pet's meal to administer. This time frame may be 2 to 4 hours depending on the pet and size of meal. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate dosing times for your dog.

can you soak the S adenosyl tablets so they get soft?
-
S-Adenosyl is used in pets to support healthy liver function. The manufacturer states these tablets are enteric-coated, they should not be broken or split and are sensitive to air and moisture. S-Adenosyl tablets should not be soaked. Getting them wet can disrupt the integrity of the medication and your pet may not get the full effect. The coating is designed to dissolve and release the drug at a certain point in the GI tract. They should be taken on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after feeding to increase absorption. Talk with your veterinarian if you have questions about techniques for giving your pet oral medications. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Is milk thistle the same as Sam E? I ntoiced it was more affordable? My dog has high liver enzymes.?
-
Although both are used as supplements in liver dysfunction, S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is not the same as milk thistle. SAMe is a molecule naturally made in the body, which helps in brain, liver, and other tissue function. Supplemental SAMe is thought to increase liver cell function in animals with decreased liver function. Milk thistle (silymarin) is thought to improve liver function by acting as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, protecting the liver cells from toxins as well as increasing the amount of protein liver cells made. Milk thistle is commonly listed in products as Silybin A and B, which are extracts of silymarin. SAMe and milk thistle can be used together or alone. It would be important to discuss with your pet’s veterinarian in order to select the safest and most appropriate supplement for your pet. Thank you, VetRxDirect

i've do a research and i've found an article said not to give milk with SAMe for cat . Why??
-
There is not an apparent drug-food interaction with SAMe and milk. However, SAMe should be given on an empty stomach, at least one hour before feeding your cat, because food and other products, such as milk, may decrease the effectiveness of SAMe. This is because they may decrease the absorption of SAMe in the GI tract. You should be able to feed your cat milk after an hour of giving SAMe. Thank you, VetRxDirect

We are not aware of any liquid options for the milk thistle or SAMe supplements. You may want to check in with your dog's veterinarian on additional administration options or other supplements that may be easier to administer. Thank you, VetRxDirect

are these the non chewable pills??
-
We carry both forms of the S-Adenosyl supplement, the non-chewable tablets and the chewable. If you are looking for chewable tablets, they are available in one strength, the 225, and are listed as snap tabs, which break apart to allow for dosing at strengths other than 225. The non-chewable come in three strengths, 100, 225, and 425. Thank you, VetRxDirect
