Heidelberger Chlorella SAM S-Adenosylmethionine Capsules
60 capsules · 1 capsule per day
Product description
The SAM capsules are designed as a focused single-ingredient product with 200 mg of S-adenosylmethionine per daily dose, complemented only by a small magnesium component. The product character therefore lies in targeted single-compound supplementation rather than in a broad micronutrient complex. From an orthomolecular perspective, SAM should be considered in the context of the overall methylation and B-vitamin routine, especially when folate, B12, betaine or other methylation-related supplements are used in parallel.

Nutrient knowledge & reference values
Nutrient knowledge & reference values
General nutrient information for interpreting the product dosage. Signs of insufficient or excessive intake are non-specific and do not replace a diagnosis.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous enzymatic reactions. For product assessment, the manufacturer’s dosage, active-ingredient forms and reference values are considered separately.
Functions
Magnesium contributes, among other things, to normal muscle and nerve function and to normal energy-yielding metabolic processes. It is also involved in processes related to protein, bone and DNA.
Possible signs of insufficient intake
Insufficient magnesium intake can present with nonspecific symptoms; possible indications may include neuromuscular complaints. Individual symptoms do not establish a diagnosis and should not be assessed in isolation.
Points to consider at high intake
High amounts from supplements can mainly cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea and abdominal cramps. With severely impaired kidney function, the risk of magnesium accumulation increases; high doses should then be medically assessed.
Special considerations
With impaired kidney function, magnesium excretion is reduced. Product dose, magnesium form, tolerance and total intake should therefore be considered separately.
Interactions / caution
Magnesium can affect the absorption of certain medicines, including some antibiotics and bisphosphonates. Timing intervals and individual medication should be reviewed with regular use.
Scientific assessment
Studies, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials on the active ingredient – explained clearly and linked to sources.
