sam-e and magnesium stearate question.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I tried taking sam-e a while back and kind of thought it gave me

headaches. I just put two and two together from some posts I read a

while back saying magnesium stearate was a trans-fat, and I know that

trans-fats give me headaches/brainfog, so I read the label on the

bottle, and it did have mag/stear as an ingredient.

Does anyone know of any sam-e that doesn't have mag/stear? Also, kind

of weighing the differences in buying online where I might get a

discount, and buying from the natural foods store, where I would expect

they would have quality product, is there anything I should

look/lookout for when buying online re: product quality? Any

experiences with this?

Thanks.

I think it matters more that you buy reputable brand name products.

It's likely that the same brands are available on-line - and - at your

local health food store.

In fact you're very likely to find a wider variety of supplements online.

You cannot generalize about online quality- or health food store, either.

Pure Encapsulations do not use mg stearate

labs uses vegetable source stearate which does not hurt me.

Thorne is fine.

Some products of davinci labs do not contain it.
